In case you missed it, a New Jersey family was shocked to find their local school district was forcing them to adhere to Common Core standards in their state if they chose to homeschool. In response, founder of the Home School Legal Defense Association, Mike Farris, traveled to Washington D.C. to warn the House Constitution Subcommittee that without a constitutional amendment, parental rights would continue to diminish.
At a time when homeschooling is receiving as much attention and scrutiny as ever, it’s critical that we be vigilant in protecting our right to teach our children at home. That’s why working with a homeschool partner like Bridgeway is so critical and beneficial. Along with the other advantages of working with Bridgeway, because our school is accredited, you never have to worry about losing your homeschooling freedoms and flexibility.
However, according to Mike Farris, passage of The Parental Rights Amendment “would ensure that parents’ fundamental right to direct the education, upbringing, and care of their children is preserved in the United States Constitution. This amendment would protect parents from UN treaties, state and federal laws that undermine parental rights, and the growing threat of international law that seeks to elevate government officials over parents.”
