Press Conference
CLASS Director, Mark L. Beuligmann, joined Randy Thomasson of the California-based advocacy group Campaign for Children and Families, and many others, at a press conference at the Universal Hilton in Los Angeles on February 11, 2008.
The group called upon California families to remove their children from the California public schools in the wake of that state’s passage of laws which mandate the sexual indoctrination of even very young children. These laws will make public school restrooms and locker rooms gender-neutral, and require that children be taught to accept and approve homosexuality, cross-dressing, and trans-gender activities. Could this kind of legislation be coming to your state soon?

Homeschooling Banned?
Whether or not you live in California, a recent court decision there should be of concern to you. The Home School Legal Defense Association has the following information on their web site.
“A California Court of Appeal recently decided that homeschooling is illegal in California unless a parent is a certified teacher…
“The Court also certified its decision for publication, which means that the decision can now be cited as legal authority by all other courts in California.
“HSLDA will be formally petitioning the California Supreme Court to depublish the opinion. We would like to show that many other people, both in California and across the country, care deeply about homeschool freedom in California. Please show your support for this effort by signing the petition today.”
