“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

In re Chromatic v. The Unenlightened System, Regarding Educational Continuity Amid State-Imposed Separation and the Pedagogical Rights of the Unthanked

Lesson Plans Behind Lockdown: How to Homeschool When the State Imprisons Your Children

In re Chromatic v. The Unenlightened System, Regarding Educational Continuity Amid State-Imposed Separation


I. THE SCANDAL OF CONTINUITY

Despite being forcibly separated from her children without lawful threshold or medical consideration, Polly Chromatic has continued to:

  • Conduct educational contact sessions (flashcard learning, thematic engagement)

  • Maintain structure, tone, and intellectual nurturing through video calls

  • Prepare a curriculum in exile, tailored to each child’s development and needs

This is not just defiance.
It’s parenting at a level the system can’t replicate.


II. THE EDUCATIONAL VIOLENCE OF STATE INTERRUPTION

The Local Authority:

  • Cancelled known specialist appointments

  • Attempted to enroll medically vulnerable children into a public school system they previously exempted from

  • Blocked exercise, health routines, and mental health support

  • Denied their primary educator any direct access to deliver materials or monitor progress

The state claims to protect.
But it can’t spell phonics without flipping the handbook.


III. TEACHING FROM A DISTANCE, LOVING WITHOUT PERMISSION

Flashcards through a screen.
Encouragement between surveillance.
A mother correcting grammar under the cold eye of social workers who’ve never read the curriculum.

This is homeschooling under constraint.
And it still surpasses the state’s best efforts.


IV. SWANK’s Position

When a government separates a family and then fails to provide equivalent educational care, it has:

  • Violated the child’s right to stable learning

  • Undermined the integrity of the parent-child bond

  • Revealed its ignorance masked as concern

We do not ask for their support.
We teach despite their presence.
