Who Supports Educational Freedoms?

As the debate of RT3 goes on, one must wonder how long before educational freedom goes by the wayside just as your freedom to direct your own healthcare has been taken away, from you, with ObamaCare. Several candidates for various offices, in Missouri, have signed a pledge that states they will promise to vote against any legislations and mandates that require restrictions on educational freedoms. The pledge reads:

I, (insert candidate’s name here), hereby pledge, to the Missouri homeschool community, to support a parent’s right to freedom of educational choice for their children and their ability to exercise that right. In doing so, I also agree to oppose any federal, state or local mandates that impose regulation of educational standards, curriculum, testing, and/or regulation.

The following candidates and elected officials have signed, to date. I will keep you updated as the list grows.
