Meet the Moment: Defending Homeschool Freedom with Mike Farris

from The Heidi St. John Podcast · host Heidi St. John

Homeschooling is growing fast, but new threats are rising too. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Mike Farris—the national treasure behind HSLDA and longtime defender of parental rights—to talk about where homeschooling stands today, why legislative attacks in states like New Jersey matter to all of us, and how parents can take practical steps right now. From civic engagement to voting turnout, Mike shares why the homeschool movement is at its core a freedom movement—and why it’s time to get off the bench and into the fight.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.
