Politicians in Nashville are pushing a huge wave of anti-homeschooling bills, and they’re moving fast. Help us fight back!
SB 1938 / HB 1823 drags homeschool families into court.
If a child is labeled truant – and remember, every school district makes its own truancy rules – parents can be forced in front of a judge just to homeschool. A judge, not parents, gets the final say. That’s a direct violation of parental rights.
This push is coming straight from hostility toward homeschoolers.
Judicial officials have already called for more homeschool regulation, claiming homeschooling parents might hide abuse. Instead of targeting real criminals, these bills treat normal families like suspects. They’re treating everyday working families like suspects and using truancy laws as the excuse
HB-1729 – delinates with greater detail what scores kids receive on standardized testing before the school can swoop in and force homeschool parents to put their kids back into government school. That’s already on the books, here in TN, but is rarely enforced. The bill’s new, detailed explanation of what scores trigger automatic placement back in government school make it clear that they intend to start enforcing that code!
