Jake’s got a couple posts (first, second) about a bill in the Nebraska State Legislature, LB 1141. According to Jake:
From a quick read, what I gather is that his new bill would require students in unaccredited school situations (read: home-school) to be tested on an annual basis at the parents’ expense in order to ensure adequate progress is being made. If not, parents can be required to enroll their students in a public school.
I don’t really have a lot to add, but if this is something you’ve ever heard debates about it’s worth looking at his posts.
