I'm not sure that the person was actually unschooling.
If I am wrong in my perception, please let me know.

Depends on a person's priorities.
That poster didn't seem to be an unschooler, by the way.

Some people DO want to obey all laws. I obey lots of laws, consciously, and
encourage my kids to but I tell them WHY it's worth doing. Littering is bad
with or without the $300 fine. Running traffic signals is not worth doing,
because if some people do it the stupidest will be following suit.

But if family peace and a child's wholeness and self image are high on the
list, following a testing law can't possibly compete.
