My life has been changed by the power and fulfillment I have gained through the freedom and responsibility of home education in Delaware. The federal Department of Education could only harm that freedom, I see them as an enemy to my children’s education.
You don’t need to be a home educator to oppose DOE. The agency robs influence from local communities, familes, and individuals.
It wasn’t long ago that mainstream political dogma permitted this view. Ronald Reagan ran on abolishing DOE. He won in a landslide, but did not pursue that promise. Now it is foolish to think a Republican or Democrat would even pretend to the existence of a federal agency.
The empowerment of families and students cannot be achieved through the current political system. Working outside the system is our only choice.
