After Leeper v. Arlington Victory Prosecutions of Homeschoolers Ceased

From Gary North:

"R. J. Rushdoony became one of the major spokesmen of the homeschooling movement in the mid-1980s. He testified repeatedly in court cases where the state had brought charges against homeschooling families.

In 1987, he testified in the case of Leeper v. Arlington. A group of homeschooling families sued the city of Arlington, Texas. There were over 1,000 districts in Texas. They won. Their attorney said in 2011, "After the victory that God gave us in that case, the prosecutions [of homeschoolers] stopped in all the other forty-nine states."

Michael Farris, founder of Patrick Henry College. Farris paints Calvin and the Calvinists as the culprits throughout the centuries, the betrayers of true liberty. The opposite is true, however; they were instead the great defenders of liberty and justice for all. 

Michael Horton's view of the relation of church and state, called the “two kingdom view,” is especially poisonous and flawed. This view says that the Bible governs the church, but human reason, unaided by the Bible, governs the state. [He also said, "I could approve of domestic partnerships.]

A Letter Exhorting Homeschooling Families

Eden Restored

Eternal wealth isn’t land, houses, cars and money; rather large families led by a father & mother dedicated to the kingdom and covenant of Christ. This battle determines the future. To see God’s heart here, read Psalm 78 especially 1-11.

True wealth is not vast numbers of ducks or even getting your ducks in duck houses. True wealth is ducklings raised with a Godly spirit of “Go-for-it!”  Every couple years you don’t invest, you lose the one you could have had.  ~David
