Episode 108: Homeschool Battles and the Future of Freedom
Episode 108
Monday, 24 November, 2025
In the second half of Nathan's interview with Mike Smith, they walk through the intense 2018 legislative fight sparked by an abuse case mischaracterized as a homeschool issue. Massive mobilization by homeschool families—thousands making phone calls, as well as over 3,000 showing up at the Capitol and 1,300 testifying—ultimately stopped these bills, one that was removed by the author and one that died because no committee member would even motion to vote on it.Nathan and Mike reflect on God’s faithfulness, the growth of homeschooling, and the partnerships among FPM, HSLDA, and CHEA that have preserved homeschool freedom in California. Mike shares encouragement for new homeschool families, advice for persevering through hard seasons, and honors the legacy of his late wife Elizabeth, a longtime advocate, prayer warrior, and champion for homeschoolers.HSLDA Website: https://hslda.org/ Become an HSLDA Member: https://hslda.org/join Donate to HSLDA: https://hslda.org/content/donate/ FPM Website: fpmca.org
