FoxNews.com - Group Asks Court to Reconsider Removing Girl from Home School

FOXNews reports: "A New Hampshire court's decision to order a 10-year-old home-schooled girl to attend public school is coming under attack from some social conservatives and religious freedom advocates.
The Alliance Defense Fund, an Arizona-based organization that seeks to preserve religious liberty and the sanctity of marriage, has asked a family court judge to reconsider her July 14 decision to send the girl, identified in court documents as 'Amanda,' to a public school in Meredith, N.H."

Comment: The debate over home-schooling is not a new one, however, this case is disturbing in that one of the primary factors is alleged to be the religious devotion of the mother. If that is the case, there is a good likelihood that this will be overturned, but I fear this is just the beginning of such cases. New Hampshire would be wise to remember their state motto - "Live Free or Die".
