5. No where in the US Constitution is there a Right to Home School.

When I grew up, (ok, I'm old) home schooling was considered a scam to get out of having to bother sending your kids to school. Authorities would seriously question parents who did Not give their children an opportunity to get an education in a normal school environment.

A few people home school because their local schools are bad but it is Not a right under any constitution.

And guess what? We still had crazy right wing religions that flourished. We still had very smart kids that flourished. So, home schooling is Not a right in any country. Countries may allow it but it rarely is codified into a constitution.
