This Fourth of July, America turns 250.

Two and a half centuries ago, our founders staked everything on a radical idea: that our rights come from our Creator, not from any government—and that a free people must be willing to defend them. That same conviction built the homeschool movement. The story of homeschool freedom is the story of American freedom.

But our freedom is under real pressure

Connecticut just became the first state in the nation to require fit parents to pass a government background check before they may teach their own children at home. On HSLDA’s map of homeschool freedom, Connecticut went from green to red almost overnight—the first true rollback of homeschool freedom in the modern movement. And in Nebraska, the state can now pause a family’s move to a new school over an unproven report. Bills under consideration in Rhode Island and New Jersey would add approvals, screening, and oversight for homeschooling families. The opponents of homeschool freedom are emboldened, and they’re watching to see how far they can go.

Underneath it all is one dangerous idea.

That parents are guilty until proven innocent. That mothers and fathers cannot be trusted with their own children unless the state is watching. Nearly fifty years ago, the Supreme Court called that idea “repugnant to American tradition.” Defending against it is exactly what your gift makes possible.

So we return to the question at the heart of this anniversary year:
Who is in charge of raising children—parents, or the state?

At HSLDA, we believe parents, not the government, are the first and primary educators of their children. We defend homeschool freedom not for the sake of the parents, but for the sake of the children—because children flourish when their parents are free.

Your generosity is advocacy.

Your gift to HSLDA’s Freedom Fund helps us monitor legislation in all fifty states, testify against dangerous bills, defend families when officials overstep, stand with state organizations, and preserve homeschool freedom for the generations who will follow. Homeschool freedom did not arise by permission, and it will not endure by neglect.

Please make your gift to the Freedom Fund today, and help us finish what we started.
