Families Restoring Educational Emancipation - F.R.E.E.

FREE in NY is a diverse coalition of families who believe that it is both their responsibility and their inalienable right as parents to direct the education of their children -- FREE -- from government oversight.

FREE in NY was founded specifically to oppose government control of New York's home schooling families. However, we believe that all education should be parent directed. We stand opposed to any state regulation of private education. We believe that the government's "limited interest" in ensuring a literate and self-sufficient citizenry can be accomplished through many and diverse methods. Therefore, we support ending the government monopoly on education, through the repeal of equivalency and compulsory attendance laws.
