Summary of CACR 24
This amendment to the New Hampshire constitution affirms the fundamental right of parents to direct the education of their children. HSLDA supports this measure because constitutional protection is the strongest safeguard homeschool families can have.
Right now, homeschool freedom in New Hampshire is protected by statute. But statutes can change. A future legislature could add new requirements, new oversight, or new restrictions with a simple majority vote.
A constitutional amendment:
- Sets a higher legal standard
- Limits government overreach
- Makes harmful regulations much harder to pass
- Gives families stronger protection in court
By placing parental educational rights in the Constitution, CACR 24 makes those rights permanent and far more secure.
This amendment would:
- Affirm that parents and not the government direct their children’s education
- Provide stronger legal defenses if families are challenged
- Protect against future attempts to increase homeschool regulation
- Create long-term stability for New Hampshire’s homeschool community
- Ensure that educational freedom remains protected for future generations
