The birth of the United States of America came about because people wanted to exercise inalienable and fundamental rights such as life, liberty, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the pursuit of happiness, the freedom to raise families, the ability to conduct commerce—generally, the ability to live outside the purview of excessive government control.
So our Founders proclaimed these rights in the Declaration of Independence. Then, they hammered out the US Constitution, a contract between the government and the people that spells out how to maintain the balance of power between them. The goal of this contract? Protecting freedom!
Today, our freedom to homeschool flows out of these fundamental rights. As parents, we enjoy the ability to raise our kids with the values that we hold dear and to provide each child with the educational experience that fits them best. We get to take advantage of flexibility that comes with learning outside of school walls. And millions of homeschooled kids are thriving in an environment where family relationships are strengthened, learning happens naturally, and they are free to pursue what interests them the most.
