Hslda.org involved in Parental rights victory in Canada
http://www.hslda.org
Home school legal defense association. On January 30, 2004, the Supreme Court of Canada refused to criminalize spanking as a form of parental discipline. Justice Louise Arbour, the UN's former chief prosecutor in the International War Criminal Tribunal, was adamant that spanking should be criminalized, but fortunately the court disagreed. The court stated that family disruption is far more harmful to children than corporal punishment. This case first began in 1999 when the Canadian Foundation for Children, Youth and the Law argued before an Ontario court to criminalize spanking. Their arguments failed at the trial level and the appellate level and have now been rejected by the Canadian Supreme Court. "The decision to uphold Section 43 is grounded in the recognition that to criminalize the actions of parents who provide loving guidance and correction to their children would result in ruined lives and broken families. As the court noted, this burden is often borne by the children involved," commented Dallas Miller, Senior Counsel and Executive Director of HSLDA of Canada, and a member of the Coalition for Family Autonomy (CFA). The four groups comprising the Coalition For Family Autonomy who largely handled the case are Home School Legal Defence Association of Canada, Focus on the Family (Canada), REAL Women of Canada, and Canada Family Action Coalition.

When it comes to HSLDA one might want to let the buyer beware. It may be both less and more than it seems. Motives, methods, and performance history of ALL groups and inviduals one is giving money and support to publically should be looked at with critical judgement. People fail to do such objective assessments in these and related ngs, much to their loss and sorrow. Start here to explore something other than the self promoting pages of HSLDA: http://www.hslda.us/represent.htm http://www.hslda.us/causes.htm My take is that HSLDA is a fat bloated stumblebum that assumes credit for others work by excluding the from declarations of what they are involved in, as in "represented" at some locale...leaving out dedicated long time skillful homeschool advocacy groups...and this stumble bum also has a habit of doing exactly the opposite for homeschooling and homeschoolers what they want or don't want. The screams over this have been going on for years. HSLDA is still stumbling about on IT's and the principle's mission...which needs closer examination and questioning. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Atla...sumerinfo.html http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delp...struction.html http://www.hslda.us/freedom.htm All over the US, from the most liberal of westcoast areas to the deeply conservative south, Texas, to the eastern liberal enclaves of new england HSLDA is a dirty word. This will give you a better picture of what HSLDA motives and methods a http://dir.salon.com/mwt/feature/200...tle/index.html Before YEW get carried away with pimping for yet another of your bogus organizations you might want to Plant your little Branches on some of the URLS and click through. HSLDA appears to be serving not the majority of homeschoolers, as they have erroneously claimed for years, and possibly not even the majority of beleaguered by CPS homeschoolers, though their declarations on their web pages make is sound like every family enrolled with them as NONVOTING members (all) get full service in CPS matters. However the truth is they defend or represent only who ever they want when they want....cherry pickers. My take is their picks are more political than need driven by families needs. Just my opinion, and I could be wrong. Anyone here want to discuss it, I'm open to listening to other opinions. They are NOT what they used to claim and have had to stop claiming, but people still believe they are. You DO not buy legal group insurance when you pay your dues to HSLDA and they are NOT beholden to help you. And you need, as one writer noted, to be a smart comsumer and make sure they CAN practice law in your state. http://www.gomilpitas.com/homeschool...les/102299.htm Otherwise there are groups of lawyers, and individuals, that DO defend homeschoolers that would likely be a better use of your money. I recall one of them occasionally connected to one of these ngs. http://www.aplsi.org/ describes the most intelligent way to go about spending your legal defense dollar, prepaid. Read. Think.
