Big Brother Liberalism Strikes in California…is Indiana next?

[This is a guest post from fellow Indiana Leadership Forum classmate and Director of Operations and Public Policy for the Indiana Family Institute, Ryan McCann. I asked him to write about the last week's California's Court of Appeals ruling on Homeschooling and how it could affect Indiana.]

Big Brother liberalism strikes in California…is Indiana next?

For years conservatives (including yours truly…here, here and here) have been sounding the alarm against the significant and growing problem of judicial activism. Liberalism infested and conquered most law schools many decades ago. However, until more recently the spawn of this corruption of the legal profession at least attempted to hide their ideological bias behind the tricky “penumbra” they keep magically finding in the Constitution.

However, in more recent history, marriage, property rights, religious liberty and now parental rights (to name only a few) have taken serious frontal assaults from a few black-robed tyrants. Most recently the California Court of Appeals ruled that parents have no legal right to home-school their children.

For those of you keeping score at home, the liberal ideology dominates much of American culture today including: the mainstream media (for example: CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, the New York Times, most major newspapers…ring any bells?), the education system (Last time I checked the teachers unions were still a bastion of liberalism and they run much of the public school system. To make matters much worse, many colleges and universities have crusty Marxists from the 60’s entrenched in power), government bureaucracy (need I explain…really?), the courts, much of corporate America (Bill Gates, Tim Gil, etc.), even the church is threatened (only 50% of pastors have a biblical worldview according to George Barna).

Conservatives still have a fighting chance in some areas of public influence, but our last best hope is in the home. Conservatives don’t abort their babies and they teach their children the Truth. That is a threat to liberalism. Given this reality, is it any surprise that the home and parental rights are targeted? Will liberals be content with crushing parental rights in California? Were they content to declare sodomy a constitutional right in only one state? Were they happy to allow babies to be murdered within their mother’s wombs in only one state? Be vigilant Indiana.
