A Right to Homeschool

Mar 19, 2008 - comments: 2

On today’s broadcast, Dr. Land shares his concerns about a California Court’s decision that undermines homeschooling. It could require parents to have a teaching certificate in order to teach their children at home or face criminal charges.

You’ll hear all this and your calls on today’s For Faith and Family!

Hi Dr. Land, I was listening to your show on AFR Tupelo, MS after 11 P.M. tonight. You made an incorrect statement that all states have requirements for home schooling. Our state the home state of AFR radio, Mississippi, has no requirements for home schooling. Please research this to prove my comments. I live in Prentiss County about 30 miles North of Tupelo. We have about 150 students in our county signed up for home school each year. Only about 50, which are faith based, of these 150 students are getting any real home schooling. Many times problem students in public schools are getting their parents or gardians to sign them out of the public school into home schooling and Mississippi has no requirments at all. Many of these 100 unschooled uneducated students yearly will wind up on welfare or in prison. I agree with you that any state should require them to be taught simular to public school requirements and an annual test to check their progress. Thanks for your work. Ronny Rowland

Dr. Land,

Thank you for presenting your strong comments to raise public awareness to the unconstitutional judicial action taking place in California against home schooling.  It is surely the first step in a greater movement in effort to eliminate it altogether nationwide. 

I do appreciate it when I hear you speak to bring awareness to attacks on our fundamental rights to raise and educate our children in a manner that protects them from the immorally degenerate programs of the public schools system. 

I am surprised by how you can be so on-target in this area and yet not recognize how these efforts to control the minds of our children and abolish home schooling are backed by the same powers that are at work to eliminate our constitutional rights, obliterate Christianity into obscurity, control health care, and control media to infuse relentless public support for sacrificing the lives of our men and women of the military. 

Dr. Stephen C. L’Hommedieu
