====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== Rhode Island: Compulsory School Age Increase to 18 Passes Legislature July 1, 2011 Dear Rhode Island HSLDA Members and Friends: Despite your calls, the Rhode Island senate joined the house and passed HB 5061. Barring the unlikely event of a gubernatorial veto, families in Rhode Island will be subject to compulsory education for an additional 2 years--until the student's 18 th birthday--when the new school year begins. It is difficult to tell how each family will be impacted by this expansion of government power into their homes. In any event, it underlines the importance of every homeschool family working to protect liberty. There are no non-combatants in the battle to protect liberty! If you know any families who were sitting on the sidelines while HB 5061 was moving through the legislature, urge them to roll up their sleeves, join HSLDA and Rhode Island Guild of Home Teachers, and be ready to work next time their freedom is threatened. There is strength in unity--and numbers! Sincerely, Scott Woodruff HSLDA Senior Counsel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> Is customer service an art or a science?
