In 2012, the State of New Hampshire passed a measure that eased the state’s intervention into the operations of homeschooling families by reducing the number of filings parents would have to submit in order to get state approval for their efforts to educate their children. This move, according to Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), reduced the amount of notices homeschooling parents would have to submit from 3 to just 1 and has produced no negative problems since becoming law.
Now, about five years after the 2012 measure was passed, state lawmakers are eyeing up a plan to roll back the efforts to ease state intervention by requiring third-party oversight of homeschooling operations.
The attack on the 2012 measure was spearheaded by one lawmaker’s demonization of homeschooling as “child abuse” and claims that homeschool is failing some children.
WND reports:
Besides “child abuse,” homeschooling there also has been condemned with comments like, “Half the kids are failing to learn,” and “it’s a floodgate for dropouts,” HSLDA reported.
“Recent comments like these reveal antagonism toward homeschool among certain factions in the New Hampshire legislature, explaining why we appear headed toward a legislative battle over homeschool freedoms,” the group revealed Friday.
It said reports are that three lawmakers are preparing plans to “roll back improvements,” and discussion already has begun.
“Witnesses tell us that in an executive session on a controversial bill relating to banning ‘conversion therapy’ for children experiencing gender confusion, senior Democratic lawmaker Marjorie Porter categorically compared homeschooling to child abuse,” the HSLDA said.

Anyone surprised at this statement?
The Commies in government believe your children belong to them.
And, must submit to Socialist Indoctrination.
If by child abuse you mean being 2-3 years ahead of their public school peers.
So funny. My daughter and I were saying just today, as we home-schooled her 3 kids, that with what is going on in the public school system it is child abuse to send them INTO it.
Libs hate home schooling because they can’t indoctrinate the kids into liberal philosophy.

I’m sure there are a few failures, but public education has been failing a LOT of kids for a very long time.
NH sure has gone down the tubes over the years. It used to be a wonderful place to raise a family.
The mother of a druggie and a gang member asked us how our kids are going to live normal lives and have social skills if we home school. We were thinking, You mean social skills like your kids?
“Libs hate home schooling because they can’t indoctrinate the kids into liberal philosophy.”
Yes, that’s true. They can’t have kids thinking for themselves.
Don’t tell them about Sunday School where children are exposed to hellfire, brimstone and being sinners by default.
All lies.
What the hell happened to Live Free Or Die?
Baltimore public schools recently had to admit that zero students at thirteen high schools tested proficient at math.
My homeschooled kids are all strong, independent and employed. One is set to graduate as an astronautical engineer in May.
Child abuse. Sure
Many Americans equate the Government schools with Child Abuse.
And which Sunday School would that be? Do you have one in mind?
Mine was Southern Baptist.
Was that related in some way to homeschooling?
New Hampshire, live free or die, are you forgetting that. Homeschooling is free!
A change in the NH state motto is in order if this goes anywhere.

How are the pups doing? Fine looking crew!
My kid (who is 10) wants to be a naval architect (like his uncle). He is reading books on it from his uncle. He chat with his uncle if he doesn’t understand the subject.
That’s cool. When my son was five or six, he told my wife he wanted to work at NASA. She thought he wanted to be an astronaut. He said he wanted to build rockets.
He’s a senior and almost an aerospace engineer. He has a college job controlling a satellite at NASA.
