It appears that another school district in America has decided that it just doesn’t want to let children that are homeschooled play sports with with the schools even though the parents pay school taxes to the school. That school district is the Middle Township School District in New jersey, which recently ruled that homeschool children can no longer participate in sports with the schools in the district.

Excerpt:
Left to their own devices, kids will engage in athletic games that are as much fun as they are rewarding. Better still is when parents and school officials help them organize to experience team dynamics and develop their skills.
But what can be said about adults who won’t let some kids play, who reject their presence and participation because they’re the wrong kind of kids?
For a dwindling number of school officials, the wrong kind is homeschooled children.
Middle Township recently showed that this needless, damaging prejudice continues in some places. It, like Buena Regional High School, prohibits homeschooled students from district athletics under any circumstances. Many districts sensibly give homeschoolers a path to play sports, including Ocean City, Lower Township, Vineland and Pleasantville. Across America, 20 states recognize the right of homeschoolers to access public sports programs, which like the schools they don’t attend, are funded by their families’ tax dollars.
