Supporting the Virgina Tebow Bill (Homeschool Sports Participation)

January 18, 2013 By Beth 3 Comments

Do you live in VA and homeschool? If you do, you need to read this!

We don’t homeschool but we fully support the decision to homeschool. We know it is the right decision for many families and who knows, maybe one day it will be the right decision in our family. We do have a built in High School teacher! šŸ˜‰

Our Delegate, Rob Bell, has introduced a Virginia version of the Tebow Bill to the Virginia General Assembly. This is his second year trying to get this bill passed. He needs help!

What does this bill do? It allows homeschooled kids to play sports in the public school district they live in! Want more information? Check out VirginiaTebowBill.com!

What help does he need from homeschoolers in Virginia? Here is what Del. Rob Bell sent out in his email …

Dear Homeschooling friend:

I wanted to give you a heads up that the “Tebow Bill” will be coming before the House Students and Early Education Subcommittee for a vote at 7:30am onĀ Thursday, January 24. This will take place in the 5th Floor East Conference Room in the General Assembly Building in Richmond.Ā  (Any information about previous dates is no longer valid.)

Please contact my office atĀ (804)-698-1058Ā or[email protected]Ā if you would like to come and testify.

Even if you do not want to testify, I hope you and your kids will still come show your support! Please find directions to the General Assembly Building and information about visiting the CapitolĀ here.

I also strongly encourage you to contact your delegates and senators to let them know your support. You can find your legislatorĀ here.

Sincerely, Rob Bell

Maybe you can’t head to Richmond, VA on January 24th … You can still sign the Petition on VirginiaTebowBill.com to show your support!

** Please note this is not intended to be a political debate but informational. This is our personal opinion and we have no connection to this bill besides residing in Delegate Rob Bell’s district.

    I’ve always wondered if homechoolers can play sports at public schools. I don’t know any homeschoolers and I’m in GA.
