Title: Do Families Have the Right to Homeschool?
Topic: Homeschooling

Discussed by Tim Lambert
with Texas Homeschool Coalition (www.thsc.org)

Since the modern era of homeschooling, debate has raged between two opposing groups – those who believe that families should have the freedom to homeschool their children without interference and those who call for more oversight and regulation.

Listen in as Texas Homeschool Coalition President Tim Lambert offers more insight on this issue and how future decisions could affect your family.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

In Texas, some are pushing for more restrictions, regulations, and oversight on families that choose to homeschool their children. What arguments do they bring to the table?

Are homeschooled children more likely to be abused/neglected than children in public or private school? Are there studies that prove this to be untrue?

Do colleges actively recruit homeschooled students?

What are the current restrictions/requirements placed homeschool families?

Are there plenty of free or inexpensive resources available for families to use that adhere to the state requirements concerning homeschooling?

Topic: CPS Abuse

Discussed by Tim Lambert
with Texas Homeschool Coalition (www.thsc.org)

SB 1440 has received criticism from both Conservatives and Liberals. SB 1440 would essentially take away all parental rights during a CPS investigation and give caseworkers and judges authority to investigate all child neglect and abuse cases - without notifying the parent or a court hearing! Stop this abuse by CPS now! Call Governor Perry’s Citizen Opinion Hotline TOLL FREE at 800.252.9600 and ask Governor Perry to VETO SB 1440.
