Tennessee Refuses to "Recognize" Home Schoolers

They flatly refuse to issue diplomas to children who have been home schooled. I guess that's one way to kill home schooling and make sure those students are FORCED to go to public schools and be conditioned to believe that socialism is the way to go, and do it "bureaucratically," since they can't "git 'er" done legislatively. They don't want home schooled applicants for state jobs, even though they are proven to be more intelligent and better educated than public school students. Tennessee is below average in ACT scores nationally, but it is the PUBLIC school student scores bringing their average down. Tennesee public schools scored an average of 20.7, while home schoolers scored an average of 22.8, which is ABOVE the national average of 21.0. It's interesting to note that in 2005, the ACT organization stopped delineating the difference between home schooled student scores and those of the conditioned public school student scores. Could it be they didn't want to give help to those who wanted to home school their kids by keeping them away from the socialist indoctrination in public schools?
