Homeschool interventions are an important part of defending the parental rights of …
I joined the THSC Watchmen on hyper speed. I had a providential opportunity to sit down with THSC President Tim Lambert for breakfast to discuss THSC policies and how homeschooling leaders in my area could aid THSC in furthering those causes.

This January marks the beginning of the 85th Texas Legislature. Every other year in Austin, the Texas House of Representatives and Senate conduct their business for 140 days. For the third legislative session in a row, THSC is sending a squadron of lobbyist interns to fight for families. These six home school graduates, known as the THSC Watchmen, will relocate to the capital where they will live and work for five months.
In April 2016, a THSC member called THSC about an issue her daughter had with admission at Sam Houston State University (SHSU). Although her SAT scores were above the minimum score accepted by the university for regular students, SHSU told the member’s daughter that home schoolers were required to have higher standardized test scores than their public school counterparts.
The THSC Watchmen are charged with ensuring parental rights and home school freedoms are protected during the Texas legislative session. They will analyze thousands of bills, lobby legislators and testify in committees. This year, THSC will have its largest-ever group in Austin—with six THSC Watchmen and three public policy department staff.
