Three bills currently moving through the New Jersey Legislature (A5825, A5796, and S4589) and they pose a serious threat to parental rights and homeschool freedom. If passed, these bills would impose state-level mandates and intrusive oversight that undermine a parent’s God-given role as the primary educator of their child.
Here’s what these dangerous proposals would require:
❌ Turning in a curriculum plan that aligns with public school standards – including content on DEI, gender ideology, and climate change – so the same school that has failed your family can decide if you meet their approval!
❌ Maintaining a portfolio of student work throughout the year. This burdensome requirement is often arbitrary, creating unnecessary stress and anxiety for mothers who are already doing more than enough!
❌ Subjecting your child to annual evaluations by a licensed teacher or psychologist instead of by you – the parent who knows and loves them best.
❌ Requiring a “wellness check” on your child to be conducted by a government representative, either a school official or a social worker! What’s worse? The language is intentionally vague about what that wellness check would entail.
❌ Submitting written notice to your local superintendent with your child’s name, age, and who is educating them. (Though this specific bill (S.B. 1796) has been essentially “paused” for now due to public outcry, it could be taken up again at any time.)
❌ Filing sensitive personal information on your child with no guaranteed privacy protections.
This kind of anti-family legislation is not about accountability and everyone knows it. These bills would erode the already-limited autonomy of homeschool families, burden parents with bureaucratic red tape, and give the state unprecedented access into our homes and our children’s lives.
