Texas Supreme Court Sidesteps Key Home-School Learning Issue
By WILL WEISSERT, ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN, Texas — Jun 24, 2016, 12:21 PM ET
The Texas Supreme Court has sided with a family accused of not teaching its children anything while waiting "to be raptured."
But it didn't answer larger constitutional questions about whether home-school children must be properly taught.
Friday's 6-3 decision on technical grounds was a win for Laura and Michael McIntyre, who once educated their nine children in the family's El Paso motorcycle dealership.
The couple argued that school district officials violated their 14th Amendment rights by attempting to verify that its children were learning.
