Worst Homeschool Law In History Just Attempted | Ben Swann Truth In Media

UPDATE:  Lawmaker backs down on “worst Homeschool bill in history”.  State Sen. Capri Cafaro released this statement Friday:

“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 the by the issue of homeschooling.

After consultation with Teddy’s family, we have collectively decided the best course of action is for me to withdraw SB 248, and instead pursue a more comprehensive approach to address the current challenges in the state’s social service and criminal justice system.”

“It is our hope that this new focus will bring the discussion back to where it was always intended to be: protecting children. I am requesting field hearings to address the impact of current law, government agencies and nonprofit organizations on child welfare in Ohio.  I will not include any content related to education in the home in a new bill, or in any other bill.”

According to station WKBN  She said she will make a formal motion on the Senate floor when they return after Jan. 1.

Should All Kids Learn to Code? | The American Conservative

Should computer coding be written into high school curricula? Coding appears to be the latest education trend, according to New York Magazine: while nine out of ten U.S. high schools don’t offer computer programming, professionals are recognizing a need for more computer programmers in the job field. New Yorkquotes Maria M. Klawe, president of Harvey Mudd College: “We have a clear disparity between the needs of industry and the number of computer-science graduates we produce. We simply do not have enough students graduating high school with an interest in pursuing computer science.”

The Fall of Communism in Massachusetts - Murray N. Rothbard - Mises Daily

The Pilgrims formed a partnership in a joint-stock company with a group of London merchants, including Thomas Weston, an ironmonger, and John Peirce, a cloth maker. The company, John Peirce and Associates, received in 1620 a grant from the Virginia Company for a particular plantation in Virginia territory. In this alliance, each adult settler was granted a share in the joint-stock company, and each investment of ten pounds also received a share. At the end of seven years, the accumulated earnings were to be divided among the shareholders. Until that division, as in the original Virginia settlement, the company decreed a communistic system of production, with each settler contributing his all to the common store and each drawing his needs from it — again, a system of from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
