====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== June 5, 2009 Nevada--Early Education Bill, S.B. 378, Defeated Your Calls Made the Difference! Dear HSLDA Members and Friends, Thanks to your calls and emails to the Nevada Legislature, Senate Bill 378 is now dead! The bill, which required the State Department of Education to establish a plan for early childhood education, was vetoed by Governor Jim Gibbons last Thursday. In a special Sunday session on May 31, the legislature had a chance to override his veto with a two-thirds majority vote. Despite pressure from the Nevada Department of Education to approve the bill, the Nevada Senate voted "no" on S.B. 378. HSLDA and Nevada Homeschool Network opposed S.B. 378 because history demonstrates that what is initially optional in the educational arena inexorably becomes mandatory in due course. Early childhood education advocates have been clear in announcing their goal of mandatory preschool for all children, including homeschoolers. The defeat of Senate Bill 378 is nothing short of a miracle, and it would not have happened without your prayers, support, and willingness to be personally involved in the legislative process. THANK YOU to everyone who worked so hard to preserve parental freedom in education! Sincerely, J. Michael Smith HSLDA President ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> What do you look like when you get out of bed? It's hard to look our best all the time.
