Some people with an
anti-homeschooling, anti-parental authority, or anti-biblical worldview will be quick to try to use this message against NHERI, you, and me.
They will say, “See, NHERI is biased.” But they will almost never admit their
bias for State/public schooling. Their bias for the State/government approving all teachers and curriculum. For critical theory, neo-Marxism, LGBTQ theory (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer), feminist theory, statism, socialism, democratism, and many other worldviews that oppose scriptural truths, and/or U.S. constitutional thinking, and/or classical liberalism with a very limited State/government.
Furthermore, those who like to toss accusations of bias will not admit who pays their salaries. They get tax dollars. Taxes the State or other governments take from you pay their salaries at State/government/public universities, colleges, and K-12 schools. How can they claim they have no vested interest? No bias? No leaning? No tilt? Many of these folks make a living off public/State schooling and worldviews opposed to
yours.
Okay, enough of that
“negative stuff.” How about a little more proactive and positive reason to walk with NHERI?
The National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI) and its principals have been serving the public, parents, the media, lawmakers, courts, and policymakers for over 30 years. NHERI serves homeschool parents. NHERI guides doctoral students and master’s students in their
research.
NHERI helps the media and the general public understand homeschooling from a freedom-loving and scriptural perspective. NHERI knows homeschooling and homeschoolers, very deep down. Historically, pedagogically, and philosophically.
Whose voice do you want out there
in 2015? NHERI’s, or the others’?
"For the past two decades, it has been Dr. Brian Ray and NHERI that have professionally and patiently gathered the critical data which has convinced Idaho's
legislature, as well as the Departments of Education and Health and Welfare, to honor homeschooling families."
