The homeschool community is reacting with alarm to plans for a vote
in the New Hampshire legislature as early as this week that could
create restrictive new testing
and reporting requirements for homeschoolers in the state.
"Trying to sneak through massive changes in the New Hampshire
homeschool law by manipulating the system is unacceptable. The
Democratic leadership and the chairman of the education committee know
that if they allowed an open process the overwhelming majority would
vote [against the plan]," said Mike Donnelly, a staff attorney for the Home School Legal Defense Association.
The organization is the premiere group in the world working on
behalf of homeschoolers. The proposal to create the new state
requirements is being pushed by Democratic leaders in the legislature,
even though its own task force recommended against such changes. MORE>>>>>>>>>
