Is that any different than a private company getting government research grants and posting 30.06? What about a company that gets most of its income from government contracts?
The question is where we should draw the line. On one side, I think definitely a public school or university shouldn't be able to post enforceable 30.06 signs, even for sports, and private residences that home school definitely should have that right, even in their driveway or on their lawn.
"Private" companies under contract with the government often have additional rules to follow regarding workplace safety, audits, discrimination, Insurance and the like ... I think if they get "millions" in Tax dollars, either stop accepting the money, or follow rules the government (we) set, since "we" pay so much to "them"
Two girls I raised were home schooled, yet "we" didn't get "millions" we bought the books ourselves, we paid the utilities ourselves, we bought the computers and programs ourselves, our "free lunch program" was whatever I or their mother paid for at the store out of "our money" and cooked, the "school nurse" was whatever doctor I took them to and paid for with "my money" the "school playground" was the playground equipment I assembled one Christmas eve in the cold rain, the "school swimming pool" wasn't paid for by the government, nor were "swimming lessons", ...so yes, private residences of homeschoolers can do what they want to. (Of course we had 2 or 3 armed people "on campus" 24/7, so if anything, we'd have had a sign like Chappell Hill Bank has)
