Hickory, NC – Congressman Patrick McHenry (R-NC) today announced he will be hosting a town hall meeting for families that homeschool their children on Saturday, August 12th. The event will be a picnic at Henry Fork Park (off Exit 121 on I-40) in Catawba County from 11AM until 1PM. All interested families from the area and members of the media are invited and encouraged to bring a picnic lunch.<\/p>\n

“I believe parents – not the federal government – know how to best educate their children,” Congressman McHenry said. “Please bring a picnic lunch and your questions on Saturday, August 12th for a great discussion on the issues that are most important to homeschooling families.”<\/p>\n

Congressman McHenry is a co-sponsor of the Family Education Freedom Act, the Hope Plus Scholarship Act of 2005 and the Homeschool Non-Discrimination Act of 2005, which give a helping hand to families that homeschool. The topic of discussion will vary amongst issues pertaining to homeschooling families as well as a broad assessment of legislation that affects all Western North Carolina families.<\/p>\n
