In what can only be described as a vendetta, Houston CPS workers illegally took two small grandchildren from a loving, Christian, single grandmother to cover their own failure to investigate a complaint three months earlier regarding the children’s exposure to drug use. THSC has responded by suing CPS in a federal civil rights case. … [Read more...]
Judge Backtracks…A Little
March 27, 2012 By
Yesterday in the Cameron courthouse, the fit mom who lost her children in a temporary order by a judge in a custody case was back in court after an earlier hearing last week in which she asked the court to give her “right of first refusal” so that when her husband travels 50 to 75 percent of the time, she, instead of the grandparents, might have her children. The grandparents have had the … [Read more...]

The home school mother who had her children taken from her last week as the result of District Judge John Youngblood’s ruling in a custody case was back in court in Cameron yesterday.

Cheap Talk Not Enough!
March 20, 2012 By
Twenty-five years ago, when THSC PAC began to get involved in political campaigns, we faced a skeptical public, who were not informed about home schooling, and many elected officials, who took the position of the teacher’s unions, which was that parents were not qualified to teach their own children. We were delighted when a candidate or official told us they were “for home schooling.” … [Read more...]
Home School Case Update
March 19, 2012 By
On Friday a fit, godly mother was scheduled to lose her three children to her former husband and his parents. I wrote earlier this week about this horrible and unjust ruling by a Republican judge in Milam County. A father, who travels an average of two to three weeks per month, has been ruled “more stable” and therefore was given temporary custody of the three children. The paternal … [Read more...]

Hometown “Justice”
March 13, 2012 By
I’ve been writing since February about a custody case in Cameron in which the father and paternal grandparents are seeking to take three children from their fit mother. I was asked to testify as an expert witness on home schooling, because that seemed to be the major argument that the father and his parents presented to the court as to why the children should be removed from the mother. Home … [Read more...]

February 29, 2012 By
Home schooling continues to be in the news on a number of fronts. The former Pennsylvania senator and Republican candidate for president, Rick Santorum, is getting hammered from all sides in the mainstream media because he is now perceived to be a viable conservative threat to the nomination of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. … [Read more...]
Cameron Home School Case Update
February 27, 2012 By
Last Friday about 40 home school parents and teens went to the court hearing in Cameron, in Milam County, to show their support for the home school mom in a custody hearing in which her in-laws and her husband tried to convince the judge to take her three children from her and place them with the grandparents and father. Although the judge accused the mother’s attorney of being responsible for … [Read more...]
Justice for Families
February 23, 2012 By
I wrote last week about a custody case in Cameron, in which a father and his parents are seeking to take his children from their mother on the basis that she had homeschooled the children. The case continues tomorrow and has served to remind me of the continuing challenge that parents—and particularly home school parents—face, which is the challenge of justice in regard to their rights as … [Read more...]
