State Representative Jaime Greene, R-Richmond, strongly opposed the recent proposal by the Democrat chair of the House Education Committee to implement new policies mandating the registration of homeschool students with the government.
In her statement, Rep. Greene emphasized that such a requirement constitutes a severe violation of parental rights, an invasion of privacy, and an unjustifiable government overreach. Greene argued that parents should have the autonomy to choose the best educational path for their children without intrusive oversight.
Instead of imposing additional administrative burdens on homeschool families, she urged efforts to enhance public education and child protective services. Greene criticized the proposed registration as a misguided focus on regulating a legitimate educational choice, diverting attention and resources from addressing systemic issues within government agencies.
