Your Calls Worked! House of Representatives Votes to Protect Homeschool Military Enlistees
William A. Estrada, Esq.

Last week, we asked you to call your U.S. representativeand ask him or her to support the bipartisan Kline-Hunter-Andrews-Polis Amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This amendment was to ensure that homeschool graduates who wished to enlist in the armed forces were not required to score higher on the military’s initial enlistment test than public or private school graduates.
Thanks to your calls, the amendment was unanimously added to the NDAA. It was included in the final bill that passed the House last week and was sent to the U.S. Senate. Your calls made the difference!
