We urge senators and the Bush Administration to make an amendment to the proposed budget and increase federal funding for biomedical research. Innovation must not be stymied when it is most accessible...
However, Sugarman said the fact that both Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the state superintendent have spoken out against this ruling means that, chances are, even if the case is held up in the California Supreme Court, uncredentialed parents will still be allowed to educate their children - that there is nothing that requires the state to aggressively go after people.
