So, it's just like the bandit says, "Your money or your life !" Only the
schools (in PA at least) add a twist: "Your money or your kid's body."

In our state, CT, a child can't be considered truant if s/he is not enrolled
in a school. Therefore, homeschoolers are not liable under "truancy."

A child needs to be "absent" in order to be "truant." Homeschoolers are not
"absent."

PS Such an outrageous situation as this needs to be challenged. What are
support groups for, if not this?

So isn't there a local support group challenging this outrageous
situtation? If not, why not start one?

This isn't a support group, it's a discussion list. Pretty big difference.
