If you home-school in South Carolina, be glad you don't live in Pennsylvania. Their home-schooling regulations are among the most stringent in the nation. That's why a couple of home-schooling families in Pittsburgh are suing the state saying their religious rights are being violated. In Pennsylvania, home-schoolers must submit detailed record keeping and reports to the local school superintendent.

The families believe that God gives parents, not the state the responsibility for children's education. Therefore, they believe they should not have to submit to any government agent for home-school approval.

They're suing under Pennsylvania's Religious Freedom Protection Act. The act allows challenges to any laws that impose "substantial burdens upon the free exercise of religion without compelling justification."
