This is wrong.

A couple of parents are in trouble for not registering their homeschooled children with the local public school district.

This is wrong on so many levels that I don't even begin to know where to start.

A government powerful enough to give you what you want is also powerful enough to take everything you have--your belongings, your freedoms to purchase what seems best to you (everything from recreational pharmaceuticals to flatscreen televisions to black cars [in California] to the health insurance of your choice [if this ass-rape of a "health care reform" bill passes] to 3-gallon-flush toilets), and the right to raise and educate your own children.
