Richard and Margie Cressy were arrested by the Montgomery County Sheriff on child endangerment charges for not registering their children, ages 8-14, at the local district. The Cressys submitted and won official approval for their homeschool curriculum for the 2009-2010 school year, but soon after were arrested for not having done so in previous years.I can just envision the jailhouse scene from the upcoming made-for-TV movie:
SNAKE, A ONE-EYED BIKER
(sidles up to homeschooling dad; growls roughly): Hey man, what you in for?
CRESSY
(saucily pulls up collar on plaid short-sleeved dress shirt, spits tobacco juice across holding cell): None of your dang business, Buster.
SNAKE:
(grabbing Cressy): Why you son of a %#(@*&$!
CRACK DEALER (intervening, pushes Biker away): You don't wanna mess with that guy, Snake! He's bad news. (lowers voice) He failed to register his kids with the local homeschooling authority.
SNAKE: Holy %#(@*! Guard, get me outta here!
And anyway, I am the only one horrified by this line: "submitted and won official approval for their homeschool curriculum"? It's a sorry pass when parents have to apply to the government for 'approval' of what they teach their children.
