I normally don't like to WND out of principle but this one is worth noting for discussions sake.

School holds surprise 'Gay' Day for kindergartners
Parents outraged at public elementary's secretive 'coming out' event

People need to remember that, and I stress this a LOT, according to current law parental rights end when you put your kid on the bus. The Ninth circuit went that way on the sex ed survey in school. I know conservatives were outraged but if it goes to the SC it is likely to not only stand, but it could be a 9-0 decision. If the majority of the parents keep electing folks who push that stuff then that is what the "needs of the state" are determined to be. As long as they are not violating some other law the "parenting" of your children at a public school is THEIR right to control. It would be too unwieldy and expensive any other way. They cannot send out surveys to the Protestants, Catholics, Muslims, atheists etc. to account for parenting and education desires for every child. Since the constitution does not enumerate those rights a "strict constitutionalist" interpretation would side with the schools on this stuff. You already know the "living document" folks would. They want control of the kids. I find it interesting that the Ninth Circuit becomes a strict consitutionalist court when it suits their liberal agenda but becomes very activist otherwise. Sooner or later the NEA will start fighting to eliminate parental notification on this type of agenda and, should the 9th circuit ruling hold, there will be NOTHING parents can do about it except pull their kids OUT of the system ... That is why homeschooling is a fundamental right ALL parents should fight for. Sooner or later you may have no choice.

I noted this elsewhere:

If Obama wins I expect the next 4 years to show a sharp increase in homeschooling and private schooling. At this point the system will realize it doesn't have control of a high percentage of the population and they will start to actively fight homeschooling.

I think its next to impossible to make illegal -- constitutionaly speaking -- then again, we have Roe v. Wade. I never underestimate the cleverness of evil.

FWIW Obama in his book Audacity of Hope comes out vaguely in support of homeschooling. I am skeptical of how that will play out with his proposed education policies and his support from the NEA but its there.
