I don’t know whether you subscribe to HSLDA e-lert service, but you should. Click here to subscribe.
There is another page worth subscribing to there RSS feed. parentalrights.org
Both sites have a common theme:
“Since the election of Barack Obama as U.S. president, HSLDA has received more than a few calls from both members and nonmembers. Some are quite concerned about the future of homeschooling under an Obama presidency.”
“Imagine if your national government had the audacity to appoint a “guardian” to monitor your child from birth, charged with the legal responsibility to evaluate your decisions as a parent and armed with the legal authority to “intervene, prevent or rectify” any violations of your child’s rights.”
“… homeschoolers should not live in fear, but we do need to be wise, and we will need to be vigilant to protect parental rights and homeschooling freedoms in the future.”
I strongly recommend that you read and subscribe to these two organizations that looking out for your rights to teach your children your values, free from prying eyes. Freedom, privacy, values, these are things that our country was founded on.
