Homeschoolers Cause Legislator to Back Down, But There's More Work to Do

The author of Assembly Bill 2756 has changed the measure so that it no longer calls for local fire marshals to inspect the homes of homeschooling families every year.

Assembly Bill 2926, which calls for the state superintendent of public instruction to form a committee to "Investigate" homeschooling, is advancing through the legislature.

These bills, which could significantly change the nature of homeschooling in California, arose in response to a shocking criminal case involving homeschool parents in Perris, California.

The media immediately attributed the abuse to lax oversight of homeschoolers.

This bill would mandate the appointment of a committee to study home education to address the alleged "Lack of regulation" of California homeschoolers.

Another researcher concluded that homeschoolers are 40% less likely to abuse their children than the general population.

The only way these bills will be stopped is if homeschoolers get engaged and contact the legislature with your concerns.
