OK, so this really may not be as much about homeschooling as it is a custody issue. No different than if one parent wanted them in a certain private school and the other wanted them somewhere else.

Courts shouldn't be raising our children, but it sounds like the parents aren't agreeing, so they are taking it to the courts.

This may be true, but once a precedent is set by a court ruling, others can use it to make their case to end homeschooling.

I don't see this as setting a precedent, it's not allowing the judge to decide what is best, against the parents, only settle the dispute between the parents. I know some may try to use it that way, but it seems it would be a very flimsy case.
