HEM-Networking: HR 1815 update

The conference report was agreed to in House late on 2/19/05.

The Status: On agreeing to the conference report Agreed to by the Yeas and Nays: 374 – 41 (Roll no. 665).

I phoned Sen. Warner’s office and they confirmed that the section pertaining to homeschoolers, 522, remained in the bill and if the senate approves the report, it will become law.

If you object to this, I suggest sharing Mary McCarthy’s letter near and far. I have posted it here.

I will also be calling each individual who voted no and thank them.

    Mary has compiled and posted a listing of the 41 legislators who were brave enough to see problems within this bill and vote against it. She includes the voting record and contact info for each legislator at the Support Groups blog.

  • Intrinsic Motivations for Learning
    “As homeschoolers we need to find ways to reach out to teachers and parents who don’t want to see childrens’ 12 years of compulsory schooling reduced to skills training for big business. Nurturing the human capacity to learn through love and intrinsic motivation is as important to life — to me, more important — as ‘learning for earning.’ Art, religion, music […]
