“When parents aren’t able to be good patients and ask questions for themselves and for their child, there’s something wrong in our system. The social worker shouldn’t come in and seize a child just because the parents have asked a few questions. That’s what happened here; . . . we’re going to go forward, we believe that victory will come.” What kind of challenges are the defenders of homeschooling freedom battling on a day-by-day basis? This week, some of HSLDA’s legal team join Mike Farris in the Home School Heartbeat studio to give an end-of-year update on several significant cases. Program Listing:
