State Governments are coming for homeschooling families.
This is an urgent call to action!
There has been a massive 100% rise in homeschooling across Australia since the pandemic, but in Queensland, perhaps Australia's most conservative State, the rise has been nearly
200%.
There are almost 50,000 families homeschooling their children across Australia and Queensland accounts for over 10,000 of those families.
This has terrified Governments as, unlike in private and Catholic schools which are still subject to a woke national curriculum, the government cannot control what homeschooled children are taught and this is why the Queensland Government is making the first move against homeschoolers (but other States will
be looking on) to heavily regulate and restrict homeschooling as part of a review of the Education Act. There are grave concerns that the Queensland government seeks to impose its own curriculum on homeschool families. This would not only infringe on parental rights but also stifle the innovative, flexible nature of homeschooling.
We must head this move off at the pass or other State Governments will follow suit.
Here’s just a few reasons as to why allowing the dark tide of government
interference in homeschooling is a bad thing:
• The Assault on Parental Sovereignty: Imagine a regime where the state usurps your sacred right to guide your child’s future. This isn’t just an overreach; it’s a full-blown invasion
into the family unit, dictating what your children must learn, think, and believe. We’re teetering on the brink of a dystopian nightmare where parents are rendered mere spectators in their children’s education.
• The Homogenisation Machine: Government regulators, with their one-size-fits-all mandates, threaten to obliterate the rich
tapestry of individualised learning. Homeschooling’s vibrant ecosystem, tailored to each child’s unique pace and passion, is at risk of being steamrolled by faceless bureaucrats pushing uniformity over uniqueness.
• The Proof is in the Freedom: Against the drumbeat of regulation, homeschooled students shine as beacons of
success—academically, socially, and emotionally—without the stranglehold of government oversight. This triumph of liberty over regulation is a testament to the power of parental intuition and freedom in education.
• Big Brother’s Ideological Conquest: Under the guise of “standards,” there lurks a more insidious agenda: the indoctrination
of our youth with government-sanctioned ideologies of gender fluidity, extreme anti-human environmentalism, and anti-Christian postmodernism. This isn’t just about education; it’s a battle for the heart and soul of our future generations.
• The Bureaucratic Leviathan: Enforcing these draconian regulations would unleash a behemoth of
administrative chaos, squandering resources and stifling the innovative spirit of homeschooling families under a mountain of paperwork and red tape.
• The Failing Standard Bearer: Why should we entrust our children's future to the architects of a floundering public education system? It’s ludicrous to accept standards from those who
preside over state schools that are riddled with failures and inequalities.
• The Death of Innovation: Stripping away the freedom of homeschooling is akin to extinguishing the flame of educational innovation. In its place, we risk a barren landscape where creativity and exploration are relics of a bygone era.
• The Erasure of Heritage: In its relentless march towards homogenisation, government regulation threatens to erase the rich mosaic of cultural and religious identity that homeschooling nurtures. This is not just an attack on education; it’s an assault on our very heritage and diversity.
