Providing Equal Treatment to Home Educators

Feb 12, 2016

One of America’s most distinctive and exceptional qualities is the spirit of liberty embodied in our people and in our institutions. And there is perhaps no better expression of the American ethos of liberty than the belief that parents have the inalienable right – and indeed the responsibility – to direct the education of their children.
