State by state homeschool regulations

Alicia at Bright Hub has put together a rather interesting assessment of state by state rules and regulations for homeschooling. She lists what she considers the most liberal states in which to homeschool to the strictest states. You'll never guess (or maybe you will) where Vermont landed on her list. Yup! In the very strict category along with Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York and North Dakota. She doesn't explain how she came to this conclusion but I suspect it may have something to do with Vermont's reputation of being unfriendly to homeschoolers. I, myself, would put Vermont on the list of easiest states to homeschool in if you are willing to stand up for your parental and constitutional rights.

When and how did Vermont get such a reputation? Maybe this had something to do with it.
