New Hampshire--More Calls Needed to Oppose Changes to State Homeschool Law
Dear HSLDA Members and Friends,
I have learned that the New Hampshire Senate did not take up Senate Bill 337 last week. They are scheduled to vote on the bill this Thursday, March 13, 2008. Calls are needed to encourage the Senate to vote "no" on this bill to change the state's homeschool law.
ACTION REQUESTED
Call your senator, and, in your own words, give him or her the following message:
"Please vote 'no' on Senate Bill 337 this Thursday. The current homeschool law in New Hampshire does not need fixing. The current proposed changes infringe on my right as a parent to direct the education of my children. There is no problem with the current law, and these changes would create additional burdens and unwanted intrusion into homeschooling families. Furthermore, the bill would likely create confusion regarding whether the Department of Education would have approval authority over homeschool programs.
If you must vote for it, please vote to remove Paragraph V, which requires homeschoolers to submit unnecessary curriculum information. The current law's assessment requirement is sufficient to let the state know that our children are being educated."
For your senator's contact information, go to HSLDA's Legislative Toolbox at http://www.hslda.org/toolbox .
Thank you for your support!
Very truly yours,
Michael P. Donnelly, Esq. HSLDA Staff Attorney
