Hmmm...I thought they claimed the approval process ran counter to their
constitutional rights (based on their own interpretation of the
constitution).

I personally couldn't understand why they were willing to put their kids at
such risk but they felt very strongly about it.

That's what I got from Kim Bryant's posts to the state list too. So I
apologize. I should have put quotes around the: They claimed that the school
committee's process of approval runs counter to their unschooling appraoch.
That sentence came from the decision. (I won't put quotes around it now
since I'm not certain I didn't paraphrase it.)

It seems to suggest one thing was said in court and another on the state
list.

Thank you for clarifying that, Joyce!
