BAH!
From Virginia Governor Mark Warner’s letter explaining his veto of VA’s homeschool freedom bill:
Through the Federal No Child Left Behind Act, we have raised the standards for our public school teachers. This bill would effectively lower the criteria to home school, and thus retreat from the needed assurance of an adequate education for every child.
I am committed to high standards for our teachers as well as our home educators. Accordingly, I have vetoed this bill.

Not surprising – he is a democrat after all. |

I thought the legislature was going to override — didn’t happen? |
