VOTE THIS GUY OUT!
Idaho state senator Joe Stegner is at it again. Last year he proposed an ugly bill that would have regulated Idaho homeschools. Home educators were successful in beating it down. Well, he’s baaaack! The current bill is innocuous (as far as home education is concerned). It’s the attitude that gets me:
“I can’t fight the irrational logic that the home-schooling industry will bring to the Legislature” for trying to require them to register with public school districts, said Stegner, R-Lewiston. “I will fight that fight another day.”
Please, someone tell me this guy is up for re-election in November.

Talk about irrational logic…Someday somebody might do something wrong, so let’s pass legislation that restricts the freedom of thousands of people. How do these people get elected? |

“Talk about irrational logic…Someday somebody might do something wrong, so let’s pass legislation that restricts the freedom of thousands of people.” Um, that’s the basis of almost all economic and social regulation. Legislators and bureaucrats spend their entire professional lives annoyed that they don’t have perfect knowledge of everything. |

Which might prove that the most uneducated homeschooler is brighter than the average high school graduate. There are many Idaho PS graduates who have yet to figure out how to sue the state for their lack of education. |
