Our journey to homeschooling began with an observation of other home-educating families, which eventually grew into a strong personal biblical conviction of discipleship. Here is our God story.

According to a recent article by the America First Policy Institute, “Currently, there are 75 school choice programs in 34 states with 18 states offering Education Savings Accounts (ESAs)”. School choice, in this case, is not just about a parent’s right to direct the education of their child, but the implication is that the government funds that choice. Unsurprisingly, there aren’t any articles telling you about all the bills attempting to increase regulation on all these newly created school choice programs.

At a recent conference for homeschool leaders, those fighting for homeschool freedom in Arizona revealed that over twenty-five bills were brought last year alone that sought to regulate homeschoolers using government funding. There were many other testimonies of legislative fights against increased oversight and regulation from states across the nation. HSLDA revealed that both red and blue states are seeing an uptick in legislation seeking to regulate homeschoolers. There are many factors that have contributed to this rise in legislation, but one thing is for sure – government funding always brings additional regulations to all homeschoolers.
