Episode 77: The Fight Continues Oct 31, 2024

Today's episode centers on the ongoing challenges and historical context surrounding homeschooling freedoms, particularly in California. Nathan highlights past legislative attempts to restrict homeschooling. This includes proposals to ban homeschooling outright in the 1980s and to impose strict regulations in the 1990s, such as mandatory background checks and curriculum standards. These legislative efforts often intersect with broader issues of parental rights, religious freedom, and societal norms, particularly regarding the teaching of creationism versus evolution. Nathan emphasizes the importance of community engagement and collaboration among homeschooling families and organizations to protect these freedoms. Despite significant victories in the past, such as the Institute for Creation Research case, the battle for homeschooling rights is ongoing, with new legislative proposals threatening to impose further restrictions. Nathan calls for vigilance, prayer, and active participation in local and state organizations to safeguard homeschooling rights for future generations, stressing that freedom requires continuous investment and advocacy.

Episode 76: Homeschooling Under Attack: Parental Rights On The Chopping Block Oct 24, 2024

Big-government proponents throughout America are considering new legislation that could erase homeschooling as we know it.

We'll briefly discuss some highlights and explore the broader societal shifts that are impacting family dynamics and education. Nathan will also show, in their own shocking words, how leaders in the movement for government control continue to push against parents regardless of the cost to children’s education or their safety and well-being.

Episode 74: A New Classroom Trend: Who Knew? Homeschoolers Did! Sep 12, 2024

A Wall Street Journal article discusses how GenZ teachers are transforming classroom decor to create a more home-like, inviting environment, contrasting with the traditional sterile classrooms. This shift aims to enhance students' learning experiences, as studies suggest that children learn better in cozy, familiar settings. The article highlights a teacher in Idaho who has decorated her classroom with warm colors and comfortable furnishings, reflecting the idea that a homey atmosphere can positively impact learning. This trend reinforces what homeschooling parents already knew: kids learn best at home.

The South Carolina Supreme Court ruled a law unconstitutional that allowed state money to be used for private education. This ruling reflects a broader debate on the use of public funds for private schooling and suggests that similar measures in other states, like California, may face legal challenges if they do not adequately address the regulatory concerns. Ultimately, the ruling serves as a cautionary tale about the potential consequences of accepting state funds, as it may come with strings attached that could infringe on the autonomy of private educational institutions. This lesson from the South Carolina Supreme Court gives us another reminder to resist taking state funds as they do come with government oversight.

Episode 72: An Interview with Zan Tyler Aug 12, 2024

The discussion features Zan Tyler, a prominent figure in the homeschooling community, who shares her journey into homeschooling, which began in 1984 when she faced challenges with her son’s education. Initially skeptical, she became an advocate for homeschooling after navigating legal hurdles and realizing the importance of parental involvement in education. Zan emphasizes the need for vigilance in preserving homeschooling freedoms, especially as federal and state regulations increase. She highlights the significance of community and collaboration among homeschooling families, advocating for events like the CHEA Leadership Conference and Homeschool Freedom Day, where families can unite and share experiences. Zan also discusses her role at BJU Press, which supports homeschooling with a biblical worldview, and encourages parents to engage with legislators to protect their rights. The conversation underscores the idea that homeschooling is a collective effort, requiring active participation from families to ensure continued freedom and support for homeschooling initiatives. Zan's experiences serve as a reminder of the ongoing challenges and the necessity of being proactive in advocating for educational freedoms.

Episode 71: An Interview with Will Estrada Aug 09, 2024

Will Estrada discusses his journey as a homeschool graduate and advocate for homeschooling rights. Growing up in a large family in rural Pennsylvania, he experienced homeschooling firsthand, which shaped his perspective. After attending law school, he worked as a legal assistant at the Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) and later became an attorney focused on federal lobbying for homeschoolers. He highlights significant achievements, such as ensuring homeschool diplomas are accepted for military enlistment and defeating a harmful United Nations treaty. Will emphasizes the importance of parental rights and the historical context of homeschooling freedoms, encouraging families to remain proactive in defending these rights, especially in California, where challenges persist. He expresses excitement about upcoming events aimed at inspiring and educating families about homeschooling and the importance of community engagement in advocacy.

At the Homeschool Freedom Day in San Diego Will is going to talk about a several-part series. He will discuss the history of parental rights, which he views as the umbrella under which homeschooling and other family freedoms fall. He plans to cover significant historical cases, such as Meyer v. Nebraska and Pierce v. Society of Sisters, which shaped parental rights and the legal landscape for homeschooling. Additionally, he will emphasize the importance of being strong voices for homeschool freedom, encouraging participation from families of all backgrounds. His session will be engaging and applicable to young people as well, aiming to inspire and educate attendees about the significance of these freedoms and how to protect them for future generations.

Homeschool Freedom Day offers a unique opportunity to engage with leaders in the homeschooling community, gain insights into current issues affecting homeschoolers, and participate in discussions that can inspire and empower families. The event will feature interactive sessions where attendees can ask questions and share experiences, making it a valuable experience for both parents and young people. Additionally, the presence of experienced speakers, including pioneers of the homeschool movement, will provide encouragement and practical advice for navigating the challenges of homeschooling. Overall, it promises to be an enriching experience that fosters community and collaboration among homeschoolers.

Episode 69: AB 1955 Signed: What’s Next? Jul 19, 2024

Nathan reads from Romans 1 & 2 and discusses the wrath of God against ungodliness and unrighteousness, the consequences of suppressing the truth, and the judgment on those who engage in unrighteous acts.

Nathan gives an update on AB 1955. It has been signed into law by Governor Newsom and will be implemented beginning in January 2025.

Actions can be taken, such as introducing another bill to undo AB 1955, initiating a ballot initiative to stop its implementation, and challenging the bill in court. However, the likelihood of these actions being successful is low given the limited time before the bill goes into effect in January 2025.

AB 1955 poses a significant threat to homeschool freedom and the homeschool movement. Homeschoolers care about AB 1955 because the bill undermines the pillars of freedom, specifically religious freedom and parental rights, upon which the legal right to enroll children in a private school or homeschool has been established. AB 1955 impacts the entire state and sets a concerning pattern that could be used across the country, making it a critical issue for homeschoolers.

Episode 65: AB 1955 California Bill to Protect Student-Teacher Secrets from Parents! May 30, 2024

In this episode, Nathan talks about AB 1955, a new bill that protects teachers and school administrators who choose not to inform parents when a student identifies as transgender. Since this bill applies to all types of public schools, it has implications for the broader culture and how we look at gender and the family. This bill goes to the heart of our homeschool freedoms which find their foundations on the two pillars of religious freedom and parental rights.

Episode 63: New Bill Redistributes Money from Big Tech to California Journalists May 03, 2024

In this week's episode of The Frontline, Nathan talks about how a new bill by Senator Glazer places a new tax on tech companies to start a new government funded program for journalists. This bill will affect how journalism operates in California. The influence of journalism on the public perception of homeschooling is powerful, and we must remain aware of how homeschooling and parental rights are being represented to the general public.

Nathan also talks about the upcoming CHEA Convention on May 9-11. Check out FPM's event page for more details.

Episode 62: Parental Rights, Education Freedom, and School Choice Apr 26, 2024

In this episode of The Frontline, Nathan talks about the concept of school choice and education savings accounts. He explains that school choice refers to government-funded programs that provide alternative education options outside of traditional public schools. The term 'education savings accounts' (ESAs) can have different meanings depending on the context, such as individuals putting their own money into a government-controlled account or the government providing funds for education.

Nathan highlights the confusion and controversy surrounding these terms and emphasizes the need to understand the specific context when discussing them. He also mentions two articles that provide further information on the topic. Overall, FPM urges parents to consider the range of educational options already available and to carefully evaluate the trade-offs between freedom and government funding in school choice discussions. Government money always comes with government control, and we must be wary of false funding promises that threaten homeschool freedoms.

Episode 61: Legislative Update with Bills to Watch and Need for Volunteers - Free Webinar Apr 19, 2024

In this episode of The Frontline, Nathan provides a legislative update and discusses several bills. This week, we are focusing on two kindergarten bills (AB 2226 and SB 1056) that mandate kindergarten prior to entry into first grade in public schools. However, these bills do not apply to private homeschooling or private school enrollment thanks to FPM's amendment language. Nathan also mentions AB 2998, which allows students on public school campuses to carry drugs to reverse opioid overdose. He also talks about AB 1864, which clarifies pesticide use near schools and homes.

Finally, don't forget to visit the FPM's website (https://fpmca.org) for more articles and information on upcoming events, including a training session on engaging in local district office visits.

Episode 60: Does This Fit Reality? Apr 12, 2024

In this episode of The Frontline, Nathan discusses an opinion piece written in USA Today regarding homeschooling and the need to regulate it in order to prevent abuse. Nathan discusses some of the findings of researchers such as Dr. Ray and Dr. Shaquille regarding the likelihood of abuse in a homeschooling setting. Their findings directly contradict the dubious claims made in this opinion piece, and show the folly in focusing on homeschooling as "hotbed" of maltreatment of students instead of focusing on situations where abuse is much more common such as in the public school system.

Episode 58: Happy Easter and CHSPE/HiSET Update with Will Estrada Mar 29, 2024

The HiSET, formerly known as the CHSPE, is a proficiency exam that homeschool graduates in California can take. While it is not mandatory, it can be helpful for homeschool graduates who face discrimination when applying to colleges or state jobs. Recently, an HSLDA member family encountered a problem when trying to register for the HiSET. They received an automated message stating that they needed accredited transcripts from a public school, which was not required by law. HSLDA sent a legal letter citing relevant court cases and the family's homeschool transcripts, resulting in the California Department of Education updating their registration process to include homeschoolers. This outcome is seen as a victory for homeschooling rights in California. HSLDA also shared another example of successfully challenging a requirement for accredited diplomas for phlebotomy licenses. The work of HSLDA, CHEA and Family Protection Ministries in California is crucial in defending homeschooling freedoms.

Why do homeschool graduates in California face discrimination when applying to colleges or state jobs?

Homeschool graduates in California face discrimination when applying to colleges or state jobs because some institutions may not recognize homeschool diplomas as equivalent to traditional high school diplomas. This can create challenges for homeschool graduates who want to pursue higher education or certain careers. However, taking the HiSET exam can help homeschool graduates demonstrate diploma equivalency and potentially overcome this discrimination.

Episode 57: Legislative Update and Words of Encouragement Mar 22, 2024

In this episode of the Frontline, Nathan offers some encouragement in times of persecution found in Psalm 18. He also gives an overview of some of the bills that FPM is dealing with currently, including bills dealing with mandatory kindergarten, minor consent to medical care, and school drinking water. These new bills address similar issues to bills we have dealt with in the prior year of this session, and we will notify you of any imminent threats to homeschooling or parental rights if they arise.

In this episode of the Frontline, Nathan discusses four key words: detect, analyze, monitor, and intervene. These words describe how Family Protection Ministries engages in legislation that impacts the family. They detect problematic bills, analyze their impact, monitor their progress, and intervene by proposing amendments or changes to the bills. Nathan and staff also work with legislators and committee staff to ensure their proposed amendments align with other proposed changes. Currently, we here at FPM are reviewing a large number of bills that have been introduced in the legislature as the introduction deadline arrives.
