Christian Home Educators of Colorado's Legislative Update keeps you informed about issues related to parental rights, religious liberty, and homeschool freedom

Hidden Government, Hate Groups, and Compelled Payment

by Colleen Enos (CHEC Director of Government Relations)

Transparency is not really our current General Assembly’s goal. We would like to believe that our state government works for us, but the majority party in charge is more concerned with covering its own tracks to avoid any repercussions of accountability with the voters. They also consider any opposing views or opinions to be dissent that must be squashed at all costs, even if it means forcibly gagging their opposition by disallowing all debate. This is not exactly an overflow of reasoned debate, which we would like to encourage amongst our lawmakers.

Looking for Homeschool Community? Start a Simple Homeschool Co-op!

by Renée Gotcher

The foundational idea of a homeschool co-op is to “cooperate” with one or more families to share any part of the home education process. Co-ops can be as simple as two families meeting regularly to cover one subject or as complex as a large, organized, fee-based program covering a myriad of subjects. Whatever the form, homeschool co-ops can add enrichment to your homeschooling journey by expanding your horizons academically, creatively, and socially.

Abortions, Schools, and Guns, Guns, Guns

While continuing to grapple with Colorado’s $1.2 billion dollar shortfall, the state will be losing $250 million in pandemic-related federal funding for healthcare from the American Rescue Plan Act. The federal government is implementing the President’s “Department of Government Efficiency” Cost Efficiency Initiative. Coloradoans may believe that our Democrat-led state legislature will surely cut back on bills with a fiscal impact, but that would be an incorrect assumption; they just tweak the fiscal note.

Anxiety, Depression, and Other Mental Health Issues While Homeschooling

by Shari McMinn

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect (Romans 12:2 ESV).

Some children, and parents, suffer from mental health issues from time to time — or even consistently throughout their lifetime. I believe this is a much-neglected and maligned topic in homeschooling circles. The cultural overdose through various media platforms and modern psychological promotion of prescription drugs, along with often fruitless “therapeutic” counseling, confuses the issue for concerned parents. No wonder our vulnerable children are obsessively wondering about themselves and who God created them to be.

It is up to us, as their attentive parents, to guide them through a culture that wants to constantly label them with perceived or diagnosed mental health issues. How are we to help them renew their mind to have the mind of Christ and not the mind of cultural psychobabble?

Anti-Parent, Pro-Abortion Colorado

by Colleen Enos (CHEC Director of Government Relations)

While Colorado continues to grapple with an increasing budget shortfall of approximately 1.2 billion dollars due most recently to Medicaid costs, legislators are busy prioritizing the violation of medical parental rights and, along with it, the safety of our children.
