Parents have the right to educate their own children and I strongly support home schooling. As a parent, I know how important a quality education is to a child’s future. That is why I decided to cosponsor HR 3753, the Home School Non-Discrimination Act.
Over the last 20 years, here has been a tremendous growth in the number of students who are home schooled. Today, there are nearly 2 million home school students nationwide. We need to make sure these students are treated equally in qualifying for financial aid and protecting their academic records.
I admire the hard work and dedication of all parents who choose to home school. We need to do all we can to encourage and support that decision.
