When I started homeschooling I joined a statewide email conference to get some perspective on the complicated homeschool law here. People were constantly complaining about it or siting cases of harrassment or abuse by the school districts.

To give my view point, of how immoral the current law is, I started posted quotes from the CCC and the Papal encyclicals. That really stirred the pot, so to speak, there was some flack flying too but many in the Protestant HSing community started to examine their own church beliefs and the usurpation of parental rights became apparent to many who initially thought they just had to accept it and be obedient to the lousy law.

The initial outcome of my repetitive posting of the CCC is a bill in the house education committee for a new HS law that reflects the Catholic teachings. The interesting thing we discovered as the final drafts for the bill were haggled over, was that the current law isn't in compliance with federal code...and the federal code reflects the Catholic teaching on the primacy of the parent in educational matters.

The secondary outcome is that I've passed on the cyber links for the CCC more than I can count on my hands. We have an uphill battle with our bill as the NEA puts lots of moola into the pockets of the house education committee so I ask for prayers that HB2560 gets passed.

You hit paydirt here!

And prayers that HB2560 gets passed are being prayed right now!
