Subject: Please Help Stop the Ban on Homeschooling in the Netherlands
Dear all,
We in the Netherlands could really use some international help right now. In July, the State Secretary of Education declared that he will be abolishing home education in the Netherlands.
The Dutch homeschooling community is doing everything in our power to prevent this. But our community is tiny. There are only 429 homeschooled children out of a population of approximately 2.4 million children.
We need your help.
Please sign this online petition designed for the international community (both children and parents can sign): https://www.change.org/
If you can spread the petition and this message far and wide, it would be most appreciated. Please cross post on as many homeschooling lists as possible. Please post it on Facebook and Twitter and anywhere else you think may be helpful.
Thank you so much for your support.
