If a Christian parent wants to homeschool their children in Ohio, a Democratic state senator wants to make sure the government approves of what they will be teaching their children.

Ohio Senate Bill 248 was introduced that will require any parent who wants to homeschool their child to meet with government social workers for interviews, have background checks conducted and give permission for government intervention.

If the state doesn’t approve the parents, they won’t be allowed to homeschool.

Social workers would not be required to obtain training or qualifications to determine if parents are capable of being able to educate their children using homeschool materials.

There is nothing in the bill that protects someone from being denied because a social worker takes issue with their religious beliefs.

If the bill passes, thousands of Christian homeschool families in the state will now be investigated by the government and must allow the government access to all parts of their lives if they wish to continue to educate their children.
