Massachusetts--Your Calls Made a Difference!
Dear HSLDA Members and Friends,
Thank you to everyone who contacted their legislators about House Bill
3922, which would prohibit corporal punishment of children in
Massachusetts--your calls made a difference! We believe that your
calls helped convince the legislature to let this bill die in
committee.
In addition to your contacts, several pro-family representatives
attended last week's committee hearing in opposition to the bill,
which has little chance of passing. The Massachusetts public is
overwhelmingly against House Bill 3922, and even Senator Karen Spilka,
co-chairwoman of the committee on Children, Families, and Persons with
Disabilities commented that the state will not be banning corporal
punishment (See http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=4569 ).
Though it is unlikely that House Bill 3922 will move out of committee,
HSLDA will continue to monitor it, and will let you know if further
action is required.
Thank you again for your calls in support of parental freedom!
Sincerely,
Michael P. Donnelly, Esq.
HSLDA Staff Attorney

-> How long are you in for?
Some families are facing what seems like a lifelong commitment to
homeschooling, with children at both ends of the spectrum -- some
graduating and some just reaching school age. If you're going to
be "in" for a while, consider a lifetime membership with HSLDA.
It's a good deal for families with more than 10 years of
homeschooling ahead.
