Home School Heartbeat Radio Program

Homeschoolers as a group have been able to accomplish daunting tasks before. Are we up for tackling the threat to parental rights? Join Mike Farris as he lays out a strategy, today on Home School Heartbeat.

Michael Farris:
No single-interest group in America has ever achieved something as large as passing a constitutional amendment-at least, not since the Eighteenth Amendment enacted prohibition. But God blesses outnumbered people who stand for what's right. As homeschoolers, we've seen God's blessings, protections, and victories over political adversaries that were considered overwhelming.

We will not succeed with a tepid plan for a partial victory. We need to raise the banner, create a plan for victory, and secure our place in history as the generation that placed the God-given right of parents into the category of expressly protected rights in the U.S. Constitution.

This may take a number of years, but we can't wait to begin until it's too late. Members of Congress will tell us that they are not ready to respond to protect parental rights until the threat is more advanced. We must not believe them. The time to fight is now.

HSLDA is drafting a constitutional amendment, seeking the advice of friendly lawyers and organizations. Once the text is done, we will find sponsors in the U.S. House and Senate. This process will take an unbelievable effort from all of us and all of our allies. But we must not rest until the amendment is ratified.

We must use the privilege of our citizenship to make sure that our children will have the same rights as we do to raise the next generation. Will you stand up now, or will you wait until it's too late?

I'm Mike Farris.
