A judge has ordered a mom to place her three home-schooled children in public school – even though the kids were excelling.
North Carolina Judge Ned Mangum told Venessa Mills, who was in the middle of a divorce battle, that public school will "challenge the ideas you've taught them."
Robyn Williams, a fellow homeschool mom and former public school teacher, is frustrated by the judge's order and worries about the rights of other home-schooling families.
"The judge clearly disregarded all of the evidence and decided to legislate from the bench," she said. "My friend, Venessa Mills, just had her right to home school stripped away.
"It's an attack on home-schooling. Clearly this judge is biased against it, and it's infringing on our American freedom to home school. … We're just looking for justice here."
On March 24, North Carolina homeschoolers will rally at the state capitol to show their support for home education.
