The Homeschool Lobby

How has homeschooling gone from being illegal in the US to wildly unregulated in many states? The Homeschool Legal Defense Association, aka the homeschool lobby, is one of the most powerful grassroots networks you've probably never heard of. Cristen talks to reporters Meena Hart Duerson and Julia Lindau about the homeschool lobby's stealth politics; its connection to abortion bans and anti-LGBTQ laws; and why more parents across the political spectrum are choosing homeschooling. The pair investigated it all for the Vice News doc, The Secret Power of Homeschoolers.  Support Unladylike by joining the Patreon Shop Unladylike merch For advertising inquiries, contact Multitude Learn more about your ad choices.
