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

The Detroit Free Press reported that some lawmakers are calling for homeschool students to be registered with the state, lamenting the fact that Michigan is one of 11 states not to count or register them. Democrat state Rep.

Supporters cite the recent case of two Michigan couples who have been charged with adopting almost 30 children, whom they allegedly mentally and physically abused, for the purpose of pocketing almost $1 million that was meant to go to the children's care.

"One reason why this abuse was able to go undetected in the Flore home ... was due to the fact that all the children were homeschooled," Nessel claimed. "There has to be some sort of monitoring so that those children also benefit from those protections."
