ESA's and Other Government-Funded Homeschooling Programs

On January 29, President Trump signed the "Expanding Educational Freedom and Opportunity for Families" Executive Order. This order instructs that the "Secretary of Education shall issue guidance regarding how States can use Federal formula funds to support K-12 educational choice initiatives." For over 40 years MICHN has held the position that state funds have no place in private education options. We are equally opposed to federal funds targeted to families for private education. Government funding of private education options does not increase school choice. Rather, it diminishes choice because oversight and regulation always follow government funding. When all choices are funded and regulated by the government, there are no private choices. Government funding does not empower parents nor increase freedom. Rather, it entices parents into dependence on the government, and reduces freedom. As the Secretary of Education confirmation unfolds, and more details emerge about the ramifications of the Executive Order, we will keep you updated on the potential impact on homeschooling in Michigan

HSLDA explains why they (along with MiCHN) oppose tax-funded ESA's and other government-funded homeschooling programs:

MiCHN’s role is working to ensure that all families who choose to home educate in Michigan have the encouragement, support, and resources they need to do so with excellence, free from government interference. As you look for opportunities to disciple your children, we look for opportunities to come along side you with resources, encouragement, legislative updates, and more. We couldn’t do that without the financial support of so many generous people throughout the decades.
