Follow the Money

I'm not blogging much today - I'm spending most of my computer time with google.

Homeschooling in Illinois is under active attack on two fronts: lowering the age of compulsory attendance from 7 to 6; and submission of private medical records, including immunization records or "proof of immunization", to local public school districts. Seems odd, doesn't it, that the local public school district should be made responsible for ensuring the immunization of children? Perhaps that made sense back when nearly every child attended public schools, but that is no longer the case.

It turns out that in Illinois, public school districts lose government funding if the percentage of non-immunized students rises above a certain level. I'm following the money trail today to see whose job this really is.

Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct, but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
