Michigan officials are calling upon state lawmakers to enact a mandatory state registry of all homeschooled children in Michigan.
Since December 2023, Michigan state officials — including Attorney General Dana Nessel, the state House and Senate Education Committee chairs, the State Board of Education, and State Superintendent Michael Rice — have criticized homeschooling and called for stricter government regulation and oversight over homeschooled students and their parents.
The motivation for these attacks was the arrest in December of two couples in Clinton County for “allegedly abusing and financially profiting from foster and adopted children.”
However, instead of focusing on the crime itself — or on the high levels of abuse in government schools — these officials are broadly attacking homeschooling and parents seeking alternatives to government schools. For example, Attorney General Nessel alleged that homeschooling had contributed to the couples’ actions.

People are going to have to flee their communist states and move to a free one to get the boot of the government off their neck. Did the state not investigated the couple prior to placing foster children in their home? It appears the children were already "registered". They were registered with the state as foster children. How much good did that do for them?
If the parents here committed criminal actions, then charge them with those crimes. If the agency staff were negligent, charge them as well. But, don't punish other parents who had nothing to do with those actions. Home-schooling is not in and of itself a criminal act.
How long ‘til they’re taxed, in a new and special way, for home schooling?
So they can throw you in jail if you do not put your kids in public INDOCTRINATION.
Free speech and choice right?
Aaaaw . . . HELL NO!
Soviet. Democrat. But then I repeat myself.
They need to know who the kids are so that they can be kidnapped and taken to “Progressive Reeducation Camps” at a future date.
My granddaughter worked as a psychological counselor for a state agency where she evaluated prospective foster parents. She once said that many of these people shouldn't be allowed to even be parents, much less foster parents.
Don’t these idiots know that children are God’s creation . . .given to parents on loan from Him to raise them in the admonition of the Lord. I don’t think the government qualifies to have their hands on them at all . . . how would you like to have some of these legislators for parents? This is last days “lock-in-step” stuff.
Put your children on the round up ad gas list?
And the foster care system?????
First they came for your guns then they came for your children.
“Nazi” N is a lying demonic POS.
They are the ones not on parole, probation, or outstanding warrants lists. Just work it backwards.
“called for stricter government regulation and oversight”
This is a reason why people choose to homeschool. The government has done such a great job with their own schools /sarc.
Aw hell, just cut to the chase and issue them yellow stars to pin on their shirts and blouses.
Demonicrat. Traitor. But then I repeat myself.
It’s not homeschooling. It’s saving your children from degenerate mindless lunatics.
Indeed.
Occasionally I reread the Declaration of Independence for surety and the refreshment of my thoughts.
WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.There is indeed a "long train of abuses" stemming from the American Left in these last decades, and that list increases.We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed.

And this will be the verdict of EVERY case where the state takes the children from the parents- They will accuse the parent of something and claim that homeschooling was to blame-
