Massachusetts home schoolers who want to play on the public school basketball courts are finding that they must first appear in the legal courts. Massachusetts attorney Robert Waldo, Esq., has filed a number of lawsuits challenging the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) for its practice of refusing to let home schoolers on public school sports teams. In a surprising opinion, Justice James Donohue of Worcester Superior Court ruled that he would uphold anything the MIAA did that was rationally related to a legitimate State interest—but found the MIAA practice of banning home schoolers from sports teams neither rational nor legitimate. (Davis v. MIAA, Civ. No. 94-2887, Worcester Superior Court, Jan. 18, 1995.) So far, the score is Home Schools 3, Public Schools 0!
