Shelby Sharpe, legal counsel for THSC Association and lead attorney in the Leeper v. Arlington ISD case (which clarified that home schooling in Texas is legal), shares his moving story of that saga, detailing God’s hand in the legal battle surrounding home schooling in Texas. As he shares the many ways that God directed and guided in the development of that legal case, he explains that though these events took place more than ten years ago, he is still often overcome with emotion as he contemplates the divine provision and intervention that ultimately resulted in a unanimous decision by the Texas Supreme Court, moving the state of Texas from one of the most difficult states in which to homeschool into a small group of states that allow parents a great amount of freedom. This talk was recorded at THSC’s Awards Banquet in 2004.
