====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== Victory for Homeschoolers in Defeating Daytime Curfew Proposal Dear HSLDA Members and Friends: Home School Legal Defense Association assisted San Luis Obispo homeschoolers in successfully defeating a proposed daytime curfew. HSLDA has just learned that the Board of Supervisors dropped the proposal this past Monday, March 26, 2012. In January 2012, the San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors considered implementing a daytime curfew. The ordinance was intended to fight public school truancy, but would have targeted homeschool students by limiting their rights and exposing them to harassment. The proposal allowed the police to stop and question any individuals under 18 who were in a public place during school hours. On January 17, 2012, homeschoolers in San Luis Obispo County turned up en masse to a Board of Supervisors' meeting to oppose the curfew. According to some witnesses, because of the number of homeschoolers who attended the meeting, there was standing room only. HSLDA followed up the meeting with a letter to the Board of Supervisors, reiterating the harm daytime curfews cause to homeschool students. Based on the opposition, the Board of Supervisors deferred their consideration of the ordinance and on March 26, 2012, dropped the proposal. The efforts of local activists and homeschoolers were directly responsible for the daytime curfew's defeat. Mikhail Ganage, a local volunteer coordinator, and Say No to Daytime Curfews http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=13744, a website created specifically to oppose the San Luis Obispo curfew, consolidated opposition and disseminated updates about the curfew's status. Many California cities have some form of daytime curfews.
