- Families from all over our neighborhoods met at the capitol Wednesday to make a statement known: home schooling is their autonomous right.
- In January, State Superintendent Micheal Rice sent a letter to state legislators requesting them to require the enrollment of every Michigan child to the state to check into the status of the children. Something that some parents believe pushes against autonomy.
- Video shows why parents are pushing for their right to private education.
As any mother, any decision Tashmica Torok makes surrounds her family.
“My kids are my number one priority,” Torok said.
And when the COVID-19 pandemic came around, she saw the faults in education.
“Our school was ill-equipped to deal with what they needed at the time. To the point where it became dangerous,” Torok said.
Which led her to take them out of the classroom-to bring school at home.. and on Wednesday, parents similar to herself came to the capitol to promote the freedom to educate their children without state interference.
