TX Supreme Court sides with homeschooling parents who didn't teach kids due to Rapture [View all]
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2016/06/25/tx-supreme-court-sides-with-homeschooling-parents-who-didnt-teach-their-kids-due-to-the-rapture/Should homeschooling Christian parents be allowed to withhold education from their children because they believe the Rapture is imminent? The Texas Supreme Court — in true Texas fashion — just ruled in favor of the parents. But they didn’t exactly settle the issue.
The case involved Laura and Michael McIntyre. In 2004, they removed all nine of their children from a private school in order to homeschool them. But Michael’s brother Tracy said he “never observed the children pursuing traditional schoolwork” when they were supposed to be learning.
