I moved from California back to Maine when my little girl was 5 as I would not put her in public school there -

That was in 1980. I found that public schools are pretty much infiltrated with the same curriculum - bad.

But home schooling was something you could get thrown in jail for - have your child taken away!

I put my daughter in a Christian school and started an organization: "Families For Freedom."

I quickly found myself connecting with other groups, including Phyllis Shafley's "Eagle Forum"...

We fought a long hard battle in the halls of our state capitol - and even in D.C.

Long and short of it - we won. Now Maine is one of the best states for home schooling...widespread and very successful. I'm putting a couple of sites on here for you, but a Google search will give you may more. (Maine is also designated, year after year, in the top 3 safest states to raise children.)

I agree, we too home school here in Maine and think it is one of the easier and best states to do it in.
