There was a court case recently in California involving homeschoolers. The court ended up ruling that homeschooling was illegal in California. HSLDA was not involved from the beginning because the family was not a member. HSLDA heard about this case after the ruling. It is being appealed. They have a petition on their website that ALL parents, especially homeschoolers, need to sign. Please click here and sign the petition.
If you read my blog because you know and love our family personally, please go sign this petition in support of Lulu, Monkey and Lil. I have heard it said before, "As goes California, so goes the rest of the U.S." Parental rights are under attack in this country. There are many people in Washington that want to be able to tell parents how to raise their children in every aspect of their lives. And the really sad part is that it all has to do with money. If our children are not in the public school system they are losing money.
So.....please sign the petition! You do not have to be a homeschooler for this to be important to you as well.
Laura Ingraham had Mike Farris and a homeschooling mother from California on her radio show today. It was very encouraging to listen to Laura's support. The mom just so happens to also be an attorney and she said she felt confident that if everyone stands up and gets "loud" about it that it won't go through.
Welcome to our blog! I hope you enjoy your visit. We are a homeschooling family of 5. Our approach is eclectic, but leaning more and more towards Charlotte Mason. Our girls are 9, 7, and 4. Never a dull moment as we desire to teach our girls in the ways of the Lord.
