WorldNetDaily broke the story today 3-12-09; The situation is a judge Ned Mangum has ruled Venessa Mills' children must go to a Government public school. Mangum conceded he was putting his judgment in place of the mother's.
Adam Cothes, a spokesman for the mother, said the children routinely had been testing at up to two years above their grade level, were involved in swim team and other activities and events outside their home and had taken leadership roles in history club events.
The judge, when contacted by WND, explained his goal in ordering the children to register and attend a public school was to make sure they have a "more well-rounded education." Court order says, "The children have thrived in homeschool for the past four years, but need the broader focus and socialization available to them in public school."
