More from the THSC Alert -- February 2011.

Yesterday it was:

This was the battle fought and won by Texas home schoolers ...

Today it's:

....but a new battle has emerged...

"This battle is an indirect and sneak attack against home schooling..."


"Since that time [the Leeper vs, Arlington class action law suit. June 1994], Texas home school families have enjoyed the freedoms granted by these decisions.

"However, a new battle has been forming on the home school front.

"This battle is an indirect and sneak attack against home schooling.

"It is an attack against the family and a crusade against the foundational rights of parents.

"In both the U.S. and in Texas, it has always been assumed that fit parents have the fundamental, constitutional right to direct the education and upbringing of their children without government interference...

"Now in this state the right can be challenged if a parent happens to be a widow, widower, divorcé, divorcée, or a spouse of someone is prison.

"In these circumstances grandparents can go to court and gain access or possession of the children without having to prove the parent unfit.

"THSC has recognized this assault and is waging war against this attack on several fronts ..."
