    The Governator had this to say:

    Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger denounced a state appeals court ruling that severely restricts homeschooling and promised Friday to change the law if necessary to guarantee that parents are able to educate their children at home.

    “Every California child deserves a quality education, and parents should have the right to decide what’s best for their children,” Schwarzenegger said in response to the ruling, which said children educated at home must be taught by a credentialed teacher.

    “Parents should not be penalized for acting in the best interests of their children’s education,” Schwarzenegger said. “This outrageous ruling must be overturned by the courts, and if the courts don’t protect parents’ rights then, as elected officials, we will.”

    State Education Secretary David Long, a Schwarzenegger appointee, said that meant the governor supported allowing parents without teaching credentials to educate their children.

    “The governor sees this as a fundamental right of parental choice,” he said.

    The courts can saw what they like, if the executive branch won’t enforce the law, it becomes a non-issue.

    Thanks for the update.

    That’s why I left! Although, I must admit I’m pleasantly surprised by the Governator’s stance.
