Protecting homeschool freedom takes constant vigilance, strategic action, and strong relationships with lawmakers. In this episode of Homeschool Talks, HSLDA Attorney and Director of HSLDA International, Kevin Boden, joins HSLDA President Jim Mason to share how HSLDA’s advocacy is making a difference. From opposing harmful bills to building trust in state legislatures to rallying constituents at the grassroot level, you’ll discover why the work HSLDA is doing today (and the last 40+ years!) is essential to preserving hard-won freedoms while advancing homeschool liberty for generations to come. “I don't know where my kids will live when they're educating their own children. But what I do hope is that the freedom that they have is greater than the freedom I have now. And I personally have an opportunity potentially to shape the future of home education that my own kids may operate in. And so, when I wake up in the morning and you're tired and you go, “okay, here's another day, another set of issues to deal with”—you realize that there's a whole generation of kids that will benefit from the work that we're doing. And so that's really, to me, I'll do this another day, I'll this another week, I will send out another alert, I'll make another phone call, I'll drive to another meeting. Because the freedom that I want to hand my kids—I hope—is greater than the one that was handed to me.”—Kevin Boden
