To escape the crime that had invaded their Oregon neighborhood, a homeschool family moved to West Virginia. There they encountered a new kind of lawlessness—this time perpetrated by government school officials.

The family’s obstetrician said this homeschool mom and her newborn son were healthy, so he cleared them to leave the hospital. But when the family tried to go home, hospital staff labeled their decision a violation of policy and called in CPS.

A homeschool mom helping her son apply for a driver’s permit was told her paperwork was no good. A top DMV official later confirmed that this was a mistake, and revealed a good piece of news that parents will find helpful.

HSLDA Attorney Mike Donnelly explains the provisions, advantages, and disadvantages of West Virginia's new exemption, particularly regarding the “learning pod” option.

He’s a certified teacher and holds a PhD, but state officials claimed this homeschooled dad couldn’t conduct an annual portfolio assessment for his own children. That’s not what the law says.
