HOME SCHOOLERS OF TENNESSEE: COME TO RALLY DAY!
In our
Rally at our state Capitol we promote and protect home education as we learn
together of significant legal and legislative efforts to protect our freedom to
home educate and as we bring the good report of home schooling to our Tennessee
lawmakers.
We will
hear from Dr. Farris of efforts nationally and internationally impacting home
education, parental rights and religious liberties, including his defense of
the Romeike family.
We will
again support and pray for our guests, home educators Uwe & Hanna Romeike
& their six children whose case will be argued by Dr. Farris before the US 6th
Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday, April 23rd.
As you may
know, in 2008 the Romeike's took refuge in Tennessee from persecution in
Germany for their Christian homeschooling but are now facing deportation
because of rulings by our nation's Department of Justice & Board of
Immigration Appeals!
Learn
more: http://video.foxnews.com/v/2200183993001/german-family-seeking-asylum-in-us-to-homeschool-kids
Let’s join
together to learn, support, pray, and celebrate home schooling, communicating
to our lawmakers that their protection of our right to home educate is
foundational to our life style and educational choice.
So what all can my Family do on
Rally Day?
