A mandatory University of Delaware program requires students to acknowledge that "all whites are racist" and offers them "treatment" for any incorrect attitudes.

An appeals court in California has ruled that state law does permit homeschooling as a species of private school education but that statutory permission for parents to teach their own children could be overridden in order to protect the safety of a child.

Members of Congress privately are infuriated and worried over a California appeals court ruling that essentially banned homeschooling in the state.
