Episode 120: Beyond the Bills: Who Has Jurisdiction Over Your Child?

In this episode, we explore jurisdiction—the biblical idea that authority is given by God, limited, and assigned to specific spheres like the family and civil government. When those lines are clear, freedom is protected. When they are blurred, power begins to drift—usually toward the state.We cover:Why the family is the primary sphere of educationWhy education is never neutralThe proper role of governmentHow authority expands when boundaries are unclearWe also apply this framework to current California legislation:AB 2092 (Early Childhood Integrated Data System)SB 1188 (JROTC access for homeschool students)Broader concerns with ESAs and early schooling mandatesSome of these policies may seem reasonable—but the deeper question is not just what works, but who has authority.Because freedom is rarely lost all at once… it erodes one step at a time.FPM Website: fpmca.org
