Ohio Sen. Capri Cafaro decided to withdraw a
controversial homeschooling bill requiring background checks on parents. After coming under fire for what many were
calling the “worst ever” home schooling bill, an Ohio state
senator has decided to withdraw a controversial bill that would have required
background checks for parents who decided to home-school their children. Sen. Capri Cafaro, D-Hubbard, announced her decision
to pull Senate Bill 248, also known
as Teddy’s Law, late Thursday.
“SB 248 was never meant to be a policy debate about
educating children in the home. It was meant to address weaknesses in the law
pertaining to child protection. Unfortunately, the true intent of the bill to
curtail child abuse has been eclipsed by the issue of home schooling.".....The language in the bill would have required all parents
who home-school to undergo a social services investigation, including
interviews and background checks, to determine if home schooling would be
permitted. If parents didn’t pass the investigation, an ‘intervention’ would be
recommended before further consideration of their request to home-school.......Cafaro also requested field hearings next year to address
child welfare in Ohio.....To Read More....
My Take -
People who know Carfaro and think she's “really a nice person”. I think she's a
left wing loon. This has nothing to do with 'weaknesses in the law pertaining
to child protection'. This is all about public teachers unions and their lock
on the public's purse strings and leftists desires to control everything and undermining parental rights.
These people just
refuse to get it. Children belong....yes belong....to the parents when it comes
to decisions as for what's best for them. Not the state. The state has a role, but
it should always be a 'big way in the back row’ secondary one to parental rights.
When they push the 'it's for the children' mantra - you had better look real closely at what is really going on, and that's what leftists do when trying to grab societies heart strings. Name the bill after a kid.
This
reminds me of Jarod's law. Initially it started out as an equipment safety
issue because a kid named Jarod was killed on a supposedly faulty piece of school
equipment in a Cincinnati school. Before
it was done it turned into a gigantic bill that fulfilled every insane environmentalist’s
wish list. Fortunately when it was found
out how much this insane bill was going to cost the schools it was repealed. And done so with two questions that were
asked over and over again by the chairman of the House committee reviewing this
bill; did you know this or that provision was going to cost this much? The answer was always – no! Then the ultimate question; what exactly were
these provisions supposed to fix? The
answer was always the same. Either silence
or, ‘I don’t know’.
I asked everyone
this question. How many children has
this happened to in the last 25 years?
One! So I expanded it to include
the last 50 years. The answer was the
same. One! So that one tragic death justified the state overturning local authority
in all 88 counties of the state of Ohio because of one tragic event in 50
years?
I put Carfaro’s
efforts in the same category. Before Teddy’s
Law made it through the legislature this would been filled with every leftist’s dream
list of regulations and impediments undermining parental authority.
One more thing. Carfaro is Catholic. Since the Democratic party strives for unrestricted abortion, and abortion 'rights' is a plank in the Democratic platform, I wonder how she can be a Democrat and not be a heretic? Even if she personally is against abortion. how can she justify attempting to keep them in power by being elected as a member of an organization that is devoted to a point of insanity on the subject?
