Under the Canadian constitution education is the responsibility of the province so the government of BC controls the act, but home schooling is not a constitutional right. The BC government can change it tomorrow and take control of educating children away from religious wingnuts and make them conform to uniform standards of teaching. In other words if they don't or won't meet required standards for the children's education the government could and should intervene. If the government of BC has not placed uniform standards in place then they damn well should do so quickly! This is nothing short of child abuse and the shame on the BC government remains!
