In this opening episode, Emily Fort and Madelyn Michels lay the foundation for the Homeschool Freedom Podcast and the movement behind it. They explain why the Homeschool Freedom Coalition was formed, what listeners can expect from future episodes, and why homeschooling has become the last great stronghold of parental rights in America. They unpack the growing cultural and political hostility toward homeschooling -- and challenge parents to see this moment not as a reason to retreat, but as a call to stand, speak, and defend the freedom to raise and educate their children without government interference.
