Parents in Brazil Punished for Home Educating

A couple in Brazil has been sentenced to 50 days in jail for home educating their two daughters. The main reason was the children were not being taught about gender, sexuality and cultural diversity, as required by the government. The parents have appealed this decision and therefore the sentence is on hold. More details can be found at The Christian Post website.

We should be thankful for the freedom to educate our children at home in Canada and particularly for the support given to us by our provincial government.

United Nations Report Proposes Restrictions on Home Education

At the end of September last year, the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) released a report on home education entitled Homeschooling through a Human Rights Lens. The report's perspective reflects the view that education is primarily the responsibility of the state. It recommends that governments enact strict oversight of home educating families. If the proposals were implemented, they would be very harmful for home education. For additional information, please click on the link to the article “What UNESCO Gets Wrong About Homeschooling”.

We are thankful for what we have and that EU does not subscribe to the ridiculous assertion of the state having primary responsibility for children’s education, but rather advances parents as having unquestionable authority over all aspects of their children’s wellbeing. Please keep us in prayer as we defend this stance against government overreach.
