What is the mark? Well the mark Brian, is the barcode. The ubitiqous barcode that you'll find on every bog roll, and every packet of johnny's and every poxie-pot pie. And every [expletive-removed] barcode is divided into two parts by three markers and those three markers are always represented by the number six. Six-six-six.

News: Anti-homeschooling judge being investigated in Utah
Posted on Thursday, December 20 @ 08:31:30 PST by Virgil

Justice A threat by a Utah judge to take away a homeschooling mom's children if she failed to enroll them in public school, and make sure they were in attendance every day, has been escalated to the level of the state Legislature, according to a homeschooling leader.

"I can tell you there are several legislators working on this, including one on the judicial retention committee," John Yarrington, president of the Utah Home Education Association, said. "There's no excuse for this kind of bias and prejudice."

At issue are the threats issued by Judge Scott Johansen, who serves in the juvenile division of the state's 7th Judicial District

He said in a court hearing for the homeschooling mom, Denise Mafi, that he would order the removal of her children from her custody if she failed to enroll her children in the public school district and keep them in class every day, unless they had a physician's note excusing them.

Mafi, who has homeschooled for nine years, told WND that she already had enrolled the children, for fear the judge would carry out his threat.

WND earlier reported the confrontation developed after the school district apparently lost an affidavit Mafi had submitted for the 2006-2007 school year.

He said court records show the judge told the woman that she was in court with her son "because you homeschool," even though the case at hand had nothing to do with homeschooling.

And the judge told the woman that homeschooling fails 100 percent of the time and he wasn't going to allow it.


This is outrageous!!

Educratic Perversity vs Homeschool Abuse (Score: 1)

**********

Psychomike's Blog -- ReticenT PreterisT links to an article that quotes postings from Colorado church shooter, Mathew Murray. Murray complains about his abuse and cultic mind warping imposed by his homeschooling mom and compares his troubles to the Ricky Rodriquez death wish video event, etc.

Lest these misguided souls become the poster children for the advance to eliminate homeschooling,
the abuses of educratic perversity through schoolism needs full bore documentation and exposure.

It strikes me as odd that there seem to be more "school" shootings than "church" shootings.
It is also frightening to think that such mind warping institutional insensibility to its own pathology can become the acceptable norm, as in the examples from Germany.
