Michigan Social Worker Supports Family’s Constitutional Rights

As a home educator and former public teacher, I remain interested in the continual refusal of some public educational systems to respect parental rights and, on the flip side, to hold parents accountable.

Today I heard of a Michigan social worker who (!) actually closed a case upon interviewing the parents on their doorstep, instead of insisting that they were hiding the children and forcing the examination of evidence to continue unabated.

This is great news. Now, I am not supporting parents who abuse their children. However, even in those cases, Constitutional Rights trump social worker rights to enter a home without a search warrant or permission from the adults at the home.
