The Altoona (Pennsylvania) Mirror reports today that an appeal has been filed with the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Combs v. Homer Center School District. (See prior posting.) In the case, the district court rejected free exercise challenges to Pennsylvania's home schooling regulations. Parents say that it is "sinful" for them to provide state authorities with a portfolio of their children’s work and a log of their educational goals. The Home School Legal Defense Association is coordinating the legal challenge.
