Nathan also walks through several additional bills that could affect parents and homeschoolers, including:

• AB 1598
• AB 1628
• AB 18
• AB 1884
• AB 1914
• AB 8

For each, he outlines what the bill proposes, how it could impact families, and what red flags we should be watching for as the legislative session unfolds.

In this episode of The Frontline with Family Protection Ministries, Nathan talks about the biblical foundation of the family and why parental authority is increasingly being challenged in today’s culture.

He also discusses on the deeper worldview issues driving current debates over education, school choice, and government involvement in the family. He explains why accepting public dollars often comes with strings attached, how that can slowly shift control away from parents, and why true educational freedom doesn’t require government money.

Why does it matter? What’s at stake for parents? How families can think biblically and wisely about the challenges ahead?
