Social Workers to Have Veto Power Over Decision to Homeschool

K-12 IMPLOSION UPDATE: Ohio Lawmakers Want Social Workers to Have Veto Power Over Decision to Homeschool: Parents would have to submit to background checks and interrogations. I dunno, the way things are going it’s the decision to put your kids in public school that should arouse suspicions of parental incompetence.

If a bill introduced by four Democrats in the Ohio Senate last week becomes law, it would be the most radical homeschooling law in the country, stripping parents of their constitutionally-guaranteed right to direct the education of their children and requiring interrogations by social workers before homeschooling is permitted. Homeschool Legal Defense Association’s Michael Donnelly said SB 248 is “breathtakingly onerous in its scope” and called it the “worst-ever” homeschool law that has been proposed.
