Dirty Little Secrets the NEA doesn't want you to know.

We have compiled a list of several dozen quotes from people who are, or have been, influential in American public education. This document could be a useful tool to answer those who don't understand why you homeschool. There are no comments by us, except for the introduction which explains why we published the document. These quotes speak for themselves and are easily verifiable. Some of them may even shock you. This is a must-read for all homeschoolers, and something we encourage you to print and distribute. You may download the PDF here.

    New York State LEAH

    A non-profit membership  organization of families who home school their children nationwide. Their mission is to preserve and advance the fundamental, God-given, constitutional right of parents and others legally responsible for their children to direct their education. In so doing, they rely on two fundamental freedoms; parental rights and religious freedom. HSLDA advocates for these freedoms in the courtrooms, before government officials, and in the public arena. Additionally, we assist other educational organizations in similar activities, where possible and appropriate.
