Several years ago, we changed our tagline to say: “HSLDA—Making homeschooling possible.”

And for that season it made sense. It encompassed all the many programs HSLDA had taken on over the years. But we live in different times today, and I submit that what the Lord is calling HSLDA to do today is found in our name—Home School Legal Defense Association.

There have been many good programs that HSLDA has undertaken and done well, and they have helped many homeschooling families. But the need for HSLDA to continue to do them has diminished considerably as other leaders have filled those gaps.

For example, you may have heard that earlier this year we discontinued our one-on-one educational consulting program. Mission focus sometimes requires difficult decisions, and that was one.
