Tulsa World, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 12 March 2007, Home Sweet Home: Home school well-protected by Oklahoma ConstitutionMany states have the same kind of provisions in statutory laws, but not in their constitutions, according to Martin H. Belsky, professor of law at the University of Tulsa.
Section 4, Article 13 of the Oklahoma Constitution states that, “The Legislature shall provide for the compulsory attendance at some public or other school, unless other means of education are provided, of all the children in the State who are sound in mind and body, between the ages of eight and sixteen years, for at least three months in each year.”
It is the clause “unless other means of education are provided” that means so much to home-schoolers in the state.
