Links for June 23, 2008

• the little travelers * travel notes: wool felt craft – The felted soap is really clever. Would make a nice gift.
• The new learning that failed by Victor Davis Hanson – The New Criterion – Tagging this to read later. HT Mental Multivitamin.
• Court to revisit ruling on homeschooling – Here we go, folks. The CA appeals court will today begin hearing arguments regarding the much-discussed ruling from last Feb. With homeschoolers: the governor and the state schools chief. Against us: the CA Teachers Assoc, of course.

UPDATE: The court heard arguments all day and now the ball’s in their hands. They have up to 90 days to make a ruling, but I doubt it will take that long. I read a good summary of the oral arguments that were presented and will post a link when I find one. (The summary came via email.) Sounds like there were no surprises.
