Michigan Democrats Propose Cracking Down on Independence of Homeschooling Families

"...This homeschool registration proposal not only disregards parental rights but also misguidedly focuses on regulating a successful and legitimate educational choice..." -Israel Wayne, Michigan Christian Homeschool Network
