====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== New Hampshire: Classified as Highly Regulated Due to Hostile Legislative Climate Dear HSLDA Members and Friends: HSLDA classifies states based on their regulatory requirements and other factors on our state laws page at http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=8403 . Because of what we consider a "hostile regulatory environment," we are now classifying New Hampshire as a "red state." New Hampshire homeschoolers have fought intense legislative battles to defend their freedom from excessive government regulation over the past several years. In general, New Hampshire's homeschool law is not overly burdensome and is administered equitably. However, in the past four years there have been significant and numerous attempts by a determined group of pro-regulation legislators in New Hampshire to impose significant new regulations on homeschoolers. The Department of Education in New Hampshire has also demonstrated its antipathy to the current status of homeschooling regulation in the state by its actions. Recently the Department attempted to circumvent the Home Education Advisory Council and impose new and burdensome restrictions, some contrary to the law. To the great credit of New Hampshire State Board of Education, however, the rulemaking process was conducted so as to make only minimal changes to the rules. HSLDA is pleased to serve the freedom-loving homeschoolers in New Hampshire and is grateful for the support of our over 500 member families in the Granite State. Because of your vigilance and support, together we have stood against changes that had the potential to make New Hampshire's homeschool law among the most burdensome in the nation. We encourage you to take the opportunity to get involved in this year's political process in order to insure that homeschool-friendly candidates are sent to the legislature. Thank you for your continued efforts to defend homeschool freedom in New Hampshire! If you are not a member of HSLDA, I invite you to join with us as we stand together against these threats to our freedom! Standing with you! Michael P. Donnelly, Esq. HSLDA Staff Attorney ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> Who are the nation's best lobbyists?
