RRR83: Freedom or Funding - The Homeschool Crossroads Regarding Education Savings Accounts

In this episode, we take a thoughtful look at the evolving landscape of homeschool freedom—how it was built, what’s changing, and why it matters now more than ever. From the early legal battles led by advocates like Michael Farris and Mike Smith to today’s quieter shift toward government-funded programs like ESAs and vouchers, the conversation has changed. We explore the tension between freedom and funding, the idea of “neutrality,” and why some believe there is no middle ground when it comes to preserving parental authority in education. This episode gently unpacks the concept of “drift”—how small, reasonable changes over time can reshape something foundational.Because the question isn’t just what we gain today—it’s what we may be giving up tomorrow.Ro's Resource Room is a series of informational podcasts designed to equip and encourage families on their homeschooling journeys.
