@NatWei @TheABB @Nodigitaliduk @emilysmith_7 Glad to say that @Togetherdec have now picked up the hidden dangers in Clause 4 of this Bill. They have just posted this: https://t.co/mfYgAImtpv Not sure that @bphillipsonMP or @10DowningStreet are doing so yet. @rosearnold

@Togetherdec @EssexPR @djlange @alanvibe @NorrisWindross @DJAndyMoor @SteveBakerFRSA @Fox_Claire @BigBrotherWatch @Francis_Hoar Thank you for setting this up. It is good to see people beginning to recognise the dangers quietly hidden in this Bill. Not many in either house raised the dangers of Clause 4 when they debated it. Clause 32, about the CNiS registers reads like a Prevent interrogation manual.

With Reform now on the ascendent, do you really want to empower them to change the national curriculum with no escape for left leaning families via home education?

When 'Consent' isn't 'Consent'
The state wants your family's data, so be careful to give them only what they can legitimately ask for.

On Tuesday 16th May there will be a private member’s bill introduced, seeking to legislate the registration of children educated outside of school. This bill would badly impact the home educating communities and how they operate.

“As parents, we understand better than anyone else what’s good for our children! We are committed to provide our children with the same high-quality education that has been passed down for centuries from generation to generation.”

“It's parents who hold the duty to assure the education of their child. We have the freedom to disagree with what the state teaches. The prospect of Government directing a family activity naturally infuriates many parents & it utterly terrifies some.”

“British law has long held that it is education, not school, which is compulsory and that it is the duty of the parent, not the state, to ensure that it is suitable.”

“We must defend parents' rights to educate their children according to their values. Registering home educated children violates Article 8 of the Human Rights Act and threatens the right to respect for private and family life.”

“Education carried out in the privacy & safety of the home by law abiding parents is in the long British tradition of Common Law freedom which has always said that it is not the state which controls family life but the parents.”

@NickFletcherMP Agreed. Elective home education is exactly that - parents taking responsibility for their own children. Responsible parents deserve respect from the State, not stigma. No to state expansion into the home. https://t.co/SNyYbyk8Bh #home-ed-debate
