Homeschooling Wins in California

Earlier today, the California Court of Appeal for the Second Appellate District ruled that “California statutes permit home schooling as a species of private school education.

This means that this same three judge panel reversed their earlier opinion of last February which, had that opinion remained in effect, would have made California the only state to outlaw homeschooling.

It is unusual for an appellate court to grant a petition for rehearing as this court did in March, but it is truly remarkable for a court to completely reverse its own earlier opinion. We thank you for your prayers and give God the glory for this great victory.
