Isle of Man to criminalise home ed parents

The witch hunt against home educators has gone too far.

This was sent to me today:

Isle of Man – Guinea Pig for Registration & Monitoring of Home Education in Britain?

They are planning to criminalise parents who refuse to have their children interviewed or assessed:

Shockingly, the maximum new penalty for not complying with a school attendance order has risen from a £1,000 fine to £10,000 or a 6 months prison sentence.

All you have got to do is ignore the letters and you could face prison.

What happens to the children when Mum & Dad are doing porridge?

Get social services round to take the children away?

I'm utterly sick to death of these attacks on law abiding families by the likes of the Children's Commissioner and Fake Newsmongers like Channel 4.

Are families organised against this?

I thinks it's time they did get organised.
