Next week, an historic event will take place. On September 16, the
United States Senate, by unanimous consent, officially passed Senate
Resolution 183, designating the week of September 19-25, 1999, as
"National Home Education Week." This resolution, drafted by and
lobbied for by Home School Legal Defense Association, was sponsored
by Senator John Ashcroft.
Several highlights of the resolution state that: parents have the
fundamental right to direct the up-bring of their children; family
participation and parental choices in pursuit of educational
excellence are important; and training in the home strengthens the
family and guides children in setting the highest standards for their
lives which are essential elements to the continuity of morality in
our culture.
Although this resolution does not hold the weight of law, it is an
official recognition of home schoolers by our United States Senate,
and can be used as powerful tool in public relations.
Join us in celebrating this historic event in Washington, D.C. on
September 23 and 24, as HSLDA sponsors the Proclaim Liberty Rally and
Conference. For more information please call Dana Henry at 540-338-
5600.
