Should homeschool kids have rights to public school activities?
This Bill would allow homeschool kids to participate in things such as sports, cheerleading, and other clubs.
SB2476 Requires the department of education to allow children who are home schooled to participate in extracurricular activities at the public school they would otherwise be required to attend.
I'm not so sure that this is a good thing. I think it may lead to homeschool children choosing what school they want to attend there activities based upon the ability of that school.
ie; Everyone knows that certain schools have better programs then others.
If you want your children to participate in these activities, then I think the child should attend the school. It's your choice to homeschool. Schools should not be forced to accept homeschooled students.

On this day in History:
A do-it-yourselfer painting an attic in a Manoa house on O'ahu, Hawai'i finds a stash of Hawai'i bills worth $100,000, 1980. After 45 days, when nobody claims the money, he is able to keep it. The bills were stamped Hawai'i during WW II due to government monetary restrictions.
