Missouri Public School Thwarted From Filing Bogus Charges Against Homeschool Family

The Home School Legal Defense Association foiled a Kansas City public school’s attempt to issue a former student spurious truancy charges when his parents turned to homeschooling.

In some states, parents who choose to homeschool must go through certain legal measures before removing their child from public school. But even though the family followed the law, that still wasn’t enough for their child’s former school.

HSLDA is a nonprofit advocacy group that defends homeschooling families’ right to teach their children without government intervention.

ANY state or federal laws or regulations that would prohibit parents having FULL control regarding the education of their children should be struck down immediately.

It is NOT the responsibility nor is it the business of anyone else to educate our children. If we want to educate at home, at church school, private school, on a yacht traveling around the world; this is a parents responsibility and choice. period

Oh yeah, and public schools are doing SUCH a good job at educating/brain washing kids. I would much rather have a THINKING student than one that merely memorizes facts, figures, dates and times. Mass produced educated kids is perhaps a good starting point, but they still lack in so many areas they need to continue being educated most of their adult life.
