As Americans prepare for Thanksgiving, the federal government released its semiannual regulatory agenda. This agenda clearly shows that the federal government is preparing a blizzard of proposed regulations in the New Year—including many which will affect educators.
You can read the full regulatory agenda for the federal government here.
HSLDA is deeply concerned about the U.S. Department of Education’s regulatory agenda, available here. Three agenda items for proposed regulations stand out: public school education of children with special needs, public school teachers, and No Child Left Behind waivers.
Although there is nothing in this agenda to indicate that the proposed regulations would threaten homeschool freedom, they point to a disturbing trend of the federal government attempting to control our nation’s education system. As we have seen with the battle over the Common Core, even though the Common Core only applies to public schools, it is a long-term threat to every student, including homeschool and private school students.
