[...] A more important question to ask is this: Why do we so readily accept that the state has a right…a responsibility even…to oversee what happens in the family? As Senator Fulton said in a letter to a homeschool family, [...]

I am so for homeschooling. i am homeschooled and i love it so much. i dont have to deal with all the crap that there is on campus. who ever is opposed should not homeschool and leave everyone else alone.

That is discouraging…I haven’t heard from anyone personally, yet, but have seen others responses from two other senators on the committee: one for the bill and one against. Hopefully the one for the bill is from the same senator as the one who wrote you back!

Hope to see you on Wednesday! We have to leave early, but are hoping to be able to at least hear Senator Erdman speak before leaving.

Thank you so much for sharing the letter from Sen. Erdman. It encouraged me. My husband sent out numerous letters – one to each member of the Education committee and the Gov. (asking himto veto it if it comes to him).

We have received only one response letter from the woman on the committe and said she is in favor of testing home schoolers. a friend of mine received the same response as well. THAT discouraged me, so it is VERY refreshing to read this today. Thank you so much for posting. We will be there on WEd. as well.

Blessings!

Excellent comment, John. I think that is worthy of a post of its own. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts!
