Default 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/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.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

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.

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.
