The idea that state legislators, faced with home schooling questions, are
reflecting on the best reading of Pierce, Yoder, or the Constitution (and
which parts of that would they be reading?) strikes me as spectacularly
fanciful. If they cared about what legal research disclosed (rather than
what

Once again: What question are we asking?
I thought we were discussing what exemptions, if any, a legislature should
enact (or, more to the point, repeal). And surely it'd be ridiculous for a
legislature to craft an exemption limited to minors who promise they'll
never have sex.

Doug is mostly correct. The few lower court decisions on point have
generally limited Yoder to the Amish (it is sometimes referred to in the
cases and literature as the Amish exception).
However, I think it is mistake to say that the legality of homeschooling

Of course, it is also possible that these legislators believe that it *is*
unconstitutional to heavily regulate homeschooling, either because it's the
best reading of Yoder and Pierce going forward (and given the premise that
those decisions leave the point unresolved), or because they are

My colleague Fred Schauer has just published a new book suggesting that neither
politicians nor most Americans care what the law is. They comply only when
there is a realistic prospect of sanctions. Discouraging, but there it is.
Which is why I also teach Remedies. An overview of Fred's book is
