Special thanks to HSLDA for hosting this free webinar as they reviewed some recent, specific examples of how the impact of concerning model legislation is playing out around the country. This sobering webinar was informative and a powerful reminder of the need to stand together for homeschool freedom.
HSLDA values our partnership in defense and advocacy of homeschool freedoms in Maryland and across the nation. The homeschool movement would not be where it is today without the steadfast and courageous work of the state organizations like MACHE over the past decades.
MACHE was invited to join in on two days of training, encouragement, and fellowship.
