NJ to Consider Bill that Would Mandate Monitoring and Publishing Data of Homeschoolers
Breitbart ^ | June 3rd 2025 | ELIZABETH WEIBEL

Posted on 06/03/2025 6:29:03 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The New Jersey Senate is set to consider a bill on Thursday that would require families who homeschool their children to register with their local governments and the governments to publish their data.

Senate Bill 1796 (SB 1796), sponsored by New Jersey state Sen. Angela McKnight (D) would require a “parent or guardian to annually notify” their local school district, in written form, of their intention to homeschool their children.

“The letter shall include the name, date of birth, and grade level of the child, and the name of the person who will provide instruction to the child,” the latest version of the bill’s text reads.

They may live to regret this when statistics show the homeschoolers out performing the state indoctrinated students.

It sounds like common sense to have a connection and accountibilty of home schooling BUT the NJ teacher union is very powerful and hates school choice. They simply wrote the bill so the minion political hack can run it through.

If they decide to do this they must publish the scores of homeschoolers compared to those in public schools. LOL

It doesn’t begin to compare to the onerous requirements of Pennsylvania law.
I’ve posted about it before — mandated reporting of homeschooling practices, submission of work samples, required physical exams. Parents are accountable to the superintendent of the local school (or whatever the district calls its education chief). At the end of the year the student must be interviewed by a certified teacher, and the parents must pay for this service. Or else. Or else immediate charges of truancy and a visit from child protection racket personnel.
Fortunately I was over 18 when covid hit or I’d have been harassed about that vaccine, but I was required to submit medical records of past immunization, even though I was being homeschooled, not a potential bio-hazard to my contemporaries. Child protection wanted to keep a file on me and demanded a photo — they never got it, but they bared their teeth.
This in a state generally known for sanity. Unlike NJ it’s gun-friendly and mostly conservative (with the usual exceptions, big cities and college communities). But when it comes to education, it’s freaking Sparta. The children belong to the state, and the parents are just in the way.
And this is a trend. NJ is sure to come up with oppressive regulations, as more parents realize that public schools are not even teaching anymore, they’re simply babysitting and indoctrinating.

Ok. My three are all earning six figures in private sector jobs they started as interns in their last year of college. They graduated with no loans, no federal student aid, and enjoy what they are doing.

They make coffee in their kitchen and carry a thermos. They pack their own lunches. They use mass transit. They shop at thrift stores. Two bought their first home after three years of finishing college.

So yes, the state of New Jersey and its institutions would label our homeschooling a complete failure of epic dangerous proportion, evidenced by their refusal to take the $6 coffee from Starbucks every morning.

Name, rank and serial number. The rest is none of your business.

Why would it possibly make sense.

We homeschooled our kids to protect them from the government indoctrination centers. And from groomers and pedophiles.

They have absolutely no business knowing anything about me. They have enough kids to screw up. Leave mine alone.

That’s pretty much what I told a Michigan legislator to his face when they tried that nonsense years ago in Michigan.

He was basically a blubbering mess when we left. He had no answers for anything.

Only if EVERY LESSONPLAN the public schools are going to teach is posted online a month in advance so parents can review it.

My recommendation for those stuck in Blue States is to be flexible and not afraid to move to new towns, when necessary. Then, assuming they don’t find you, keep the kids home during school hours, ALWAYS, and tell the neighbors they go to a private school 20 miles away. Obviously, your kids will also have to learn to lie, particularly at the doctor’s office (but do what’s possible there and use one as far away as possible).

If you get caught, act dumb and promise them you’ll permit their anal exam. Then GET THEM OUT - if there’s any way to do that, get the kids to a new state, because at that point you risk losing them.

Years ago, NJ had a tax amnesty and advertised that they were going to go very hard after those who didn’t dress and pay up…using this song and lyrics. I found it to be Orwellian, and that (among many other things including NJ’s fascist gun laws) was and is one of the reasons that I am glad to have escaped to Texas, F.A.

That’s exactly what happened in Oregon in the 90’s. They started requiring annual testing while the schools only tested every 3 years. They dropped the annual testing 2 or 3 years later because the data gathered exposed what a poor job the PS were doing.

After a few more years we no longer had to send the scores in, but just keep them on file at home so that way the data couldn’t be asked for by the media or FOIA.

Hilarious and pathetic at the same time.

[[At the end of the year the student must be interviewed by a certified teacher,]]

The homeschool kids should,be the ones interviewing the teachers to make sure the teachers are smart enougn to continue in the public schools!

The “cirtified teacher” probably leaves the interview feeling dumb compared to the kids!

Parents are not allowed to monitor slassrooms, but state wants to get into a colonoscopy of home school? Stasi tactics.
