The Second District Court of Appeal granted a motion for rehearing in the In re Rachel L. case.

"The Court of Appeal has solicited a number of public school establishment organizations to submit amicus briefs including the California Superintendent of Public Instruction, California Department of Education, the Los Angeles Unified School District, and three California teacher unions. The court also granted permission to Sunland Christian School to file an amicus brief. The order also indicates that it will consider amicus applications from other groups." from HSLDA

Growing up here in Southern California, I don't feel that hearing from the Department of Education or any teacher's unions can be a good thing...but we shall see.

I am pleased that the major California homeschool organizations and HSLDA have banned together to fight the fight for us. They will seek permission to file an amicus brief. I've been involved in the homeschooling community since 1985 and have seen these groups in action. We are in good hands, California.
