EUSSR Cracks Down On Homeschooling

First Germany, now Sweden:
How can you tell that a country is desperate to maintain 'think' control over the populace?

They outlaw home schooling.

LifeSite News:

The government of Sweden is taking a hard line against homeschoolers, proposing a bill that will only allow home education under “extraordinary circumstances,” reports the Home School Legal Defense Association. The bill is expected to pass in the Swedish parliament, following a review by the Supreme Administrative Court, and will allow for homeschooling families to face criminal charges.

The court has asked only for the government to specify the definition of “extraordinary circumstances.”
Simply put - they don't have that many children of their own (if any) - so they need to indoctrinate ours to stay in power. Since their coercive utopia sees the family as the largest impediment to total government control, no wonder they're making yet another move to take away what's left of parental rights. And it seems like Quebec is not far behind.

Meanwhile, a new social networking site has been launched to help homeschoolers:
OVERLAND PARK, Kans. – Hschooler.net has launched the first social network that meets the unique desires of Christian parents while providing a fun and safe environment for Christian kids. This new online social network is available at http://hschooler.net. Individual accounts are free on Hschooler.net. By upgrading to a family account, members are able to use all of the available tools and parents are able to control their kids’ access to the site.

Hschooler.net uniquely addresses parents’ concerns with safety and content.

Hschooler.net allows parents to direct what their children can use on the site. Parents can manage the content their kids can access and create. Parents can also choose to approve friend requests, or can give their children that freedom, and can control which friends can see which of their kids’ content. There are no graphical or pop up ads on the site. Simple and relevant text ads appear only on the parent pages.
Hopefully, the new social networking site, helps homeschoolers not just to exchange information, but also - to unite to defend their rights.
