[Vision2020] Question for Jerry Owen

Jerry 
 
What home schools were issued a Cease and Desist order?  In case you  aren't 
sure of the answer, let me help you out.  The answer is 0, nil,  nada, none.  
It was a mean, disingenuous trick to allege that this has  occurred.  Why in 
the world would you want to scare members of your faith  community with such 
nonsense? Nevertheless, I thank you for the  splendid example of why a 
credibility gap exists between senior  members of Christ Church and the public.
 
Attention home schooling parents of Christ Church and Trinity  Reformed:
 
Jerry Owen's email deliberately misrepresents this matter. I would be  
stunned to learn of any city ordinance that forbids home schooling parents  from 
teaching his or her own children. Perhaps Jerry is referring to St.  Monica's, a 
private girl's school operating out of a home in the Fort Russell  area of 
Moscow.  Most of us understand the difference between a home  schooling family 
and a private school that operates out of a  home.   Most community members are 
aware that the city regulates  the location of  schools (public and private).  
Schools in a  residential zone require a conditional use permit.  St. 
Monica's never  bothered to apply for the permit.  When city ordinances are violated, 
 there are consequences - are at least there should be.   So,  Jerry Owen, I 
ask you again, please tell us what ordinance was cited in the  Cease and 
Desist order, and how many home schools - not private schools  operating out of a 
home - received such an order.

the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a  scrip; 
and his sling [was] in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.  "
