Kill the Bill

http://hr3753.blogspot.com/

This link is a source of information about H.R.3753/S.1691
for people working to kill the bills -- again --and keep homeschooling from being further defined by federal legislation.

I especially like that the anonymous authors of the blog are using the pen name 'Publius'
which was used by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay when they published The Federalist Papers anonymously.

I thought it was kind of clever since they are challenging the constitutionality of the
federal government making laws concerning homeschooling and the
federalist papers were written to influence people to support the
constitution. And IMO, opposing this bill is supporting the constitution.

(Especially since the constitution grants the federal government no power to establish or regulate education at all, that right is reserved for the states and the people.)

A tiny tidbit to consider: "Some provisions of this bill practically require that the federal government define homeschooling..."
(quoted from http://www.homeedmag.com/HEM/205/sotch.html.)

Do we really want the feds defining and regulating homeschooling?
That is SO not morethanfine!
