New Jersey homeschoolers under attack!

New Jersey homeschoolers under attack!

NJ home schoolers under immediate threat
If a certain New Jersey State Senator has her way, New Jersey will go at once from the easiest State for homeschooling to the hardest. Senator Loretta Weinberg (D-37-Bergen) introduced S-3105, a bill to require annual medical examination of home-schooled pupils.... orders all parents and guardians of homeschooling pupils to file at least three documents with the superintendent of the school district...

Also from the sound of part 3, all the state has to do is start an investigation of family and they are banned from homeschooling:
3. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, any child under the care, custody or supervision of the Division of Youth and Family Services, including a child placed in a resource family home or in a kinship care home, shall not be home-schooled and shall be enrolled in a public or nonpublic school, unless the child’s home-schooling is approved by the division.1
