my guess is that this kind of politically selected enforcement will simply drive the political movement underground. people won't disagree with "the party." instead they'll pay it lip service and ignore its dictates wherever they can. and since law enforcement is expensive, people will get away with ignoring most laws. home schooling, even if outlawed, will continue to grow. we'll have a system with two faces: official policy and actual reality on the ground.

big cities already provide examples of this. e.g. look at official gun possession laws in Chicago. then look at actual gun involved homicide in Chicago. or, look at California mandatory car insurance regulations. then look at the proportion of uninsured drivers in Los Angeles county.

as a nation, as an economy, we're already driving down that road. all we're doing now is pressing harder on the gas pedal.
