Families under threat
Graham Badman’s review of home education in the UK has finally arrived. All 85 pages of, which I haven’t had the stomach to read yet. However one little paragraph caught my eye:
“That designated local authority officers should:
- have the right of access to the home;
- have the right to speak with each child alone if deemed appropriate..”
Oh yeah? Over my dead body.
So, having singled out the soft target of home education to parade their nonsense argument of ‘ensuring the balance between the rights of parents and the rights of children, as if somehow the two are diametrically opposed, I suppose they will have opened the door to driving their nasty, snooping wedge into the lives of every family in the UK. Maybe soon the goverment will insist on home inspections during the long school holidays or for under fives, particularly if their parents have the gall to not take up a nursery place for their child with the silly idea that very small children do better with their mums than with mostly indifferent ‘carers’. After all, we’re all ‘potential abusers’ and none of us know what the hell we’re doing anyway. Best hand the babies over to the state at birth.
It’s time to think about leaving the asylum.
