Homeschoolers are threatened by Health Care Bill

America, homeschool

This is from Tim Lambert at Texas Home School Coalition:

“Now the association has learned that the federal proposal for health care reform could lead to a problem of similar nature (i.e. CPS’ intrusion into homes). Section 440 and Section 1904 of HR 3200 (page 838), under the heading, “Home visitation programs for families with young children and families expecting children,” would provide grants to states for home visitation programs to educate parents on child behavior and parenting skills. The language states that government agents will ‘provide parents with knowledge of age-appropriate child development in cognitive language, social, emotional, and motor domains . . . modeling, consulting, and coaching on parenting practices, skills to interact with their child to enhance age-appropriate development.’ In addition, it says “…the State will promote coordination and collaboration with other home visitation programs including . . . other child and family services, health services . . .”

Imagine the ramifications of this: required vaccinations, state curriculum, reports of child abuse, forced ‘socialization’, and more. This is a very sneaky way to include non-health care related laws into much bigger bills.

This bill has already passed the House of Representatives. Now the Senate must vote. It’s VERY important that this bill is not allowed to pass the Senate. President Obama will sign ANY health care bill that reaches his desk.

Please flood Washington with your protests:

The White House: 202-456-1111
Harry Reid – Senate Majority Leader: 202-224-3542

If you don’t know who your representatives in Congress are, click here. It is extremely important to get involved NOW if you value your right to raise your children without government intrusion.

This is a great learning opportunity for the kids. Teach them how to call Washington and express concern for this bill.

There are lots of reasons to get involved. Here are some of them.

    This sounds like the Parents as Teachers program that our state (Missouri) had now. I used to use the program and loved my parent educater, she was a Christian and she helped me very mouch as a new mother. It was not a required program, it was free and you only used it if you wanted to.

    I guess just not opening the door wouldn't work?! No, seriously, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I am completely against this health care bill, but I didn't know about this.

There's more than one way to get an education! Today I'm sharing a roundup of some out-of-the-ordinary homeschooling styles: Instead of thinking it’s “not for us,” Christian parents should be thinking “a secular education is not for us.” Geography and history go hand in hand. I never separate the two. And Mystery of History already has map work integrated into every lesson. I get a lot of pushback for saying that public education is not appropriate for Christians. “Homeschooling isn’t even in the Bible,” I’m told. No, the words are not there, but the principle definitely is. "Don’t let the world raise your children. Be intentional and fill their hearts and minds with the Word of God." -Nancy Leigh DeMoss I live in a very rural county in Texas. You know, the red-state Bible belt? And I get firsthand accounts from the parents and kids in my town, my church, and my neighborhood that would shock you. Smartphone videos that children pass around on the school bus. Foul language in kindergarten. Sexual escapades that happen at school and are discussed with all ages. Trans kids of every age. Bullying that scars children for life. And in case you hadn’t heard, the war on drugs was lost. Kids are still using them, selling them, and becoming addicted to them. I’m just gonna say it: sending kids off to school for the majority of their childhood is not normal, or biblical. Mamas feel that separation pain because we were created to raise, nurture, and mentor our own children. That task is not designed for strangers or government agents. I recently saw a new homeschool mom post in a forum that she had found a stack of books at the dollar store about Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln. She was excited because these would meet the "good citizenship" requirement for homeschooling in Texas. The overturning of Roe v. Wade at the Supreme Court level has brought up many interesting conversations. And let me tell you, if you have kids who are old enough to understand it, they are old enough to be confronted by the discourse happening in our culture. Sadly, even Christian adults are easily swayed by their emotions, as well as some of the worst meme theology on the internet.
