====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== New Jersey--Daytime Curfew Defeated! July 19, 2006 Dear HSLDA members and friends: Last night the council of the Borough of Washington rejected the proposed daytime curfew on a 5-1 vote. Your help made a difference! This defeat is especially important because Washington Borough appears to be the first municipality in the state to attempt to enact a daytime curfew. If it had succeeded, it could have emboldened other municipalities to follow suit. Homeschool families turned out to pack the hearing room. The council and members of the press heard nearly two hours of testimony, including the testimony of Mark August, President of the Education Network of Christian Homeschoolers. The testimony was almost exclusively against the ordinance. The hearing and the vote were the climax, but it was built on the efforts of many. Carolee Adams worked quietly with individual members of the council (and also testified at the hearing) to explain why it should not become law. HSLDA attorney Scott Woodruff sent an eight-page legal memorandum to council members and the council attorney explaining how the ordinance jeopardized freedoms protected under the constitution. This ordinance appeared to have significant momentum. Homeschoolers worked together with a passion to protect freedom, however, and turned the momentum the other way. Thank you for standing with us for freedom. Sincerely Yours, Scott A. Woodruff, Esq. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> You can get a little latte or a lotta legal.
