Here is a proposed Homeschool Constitution to be circulated to homeschool groups around the country to join a union of homeschool groups, which can then assist each other in enriching and expanding the experience of homeschooling:
'''Article I: Religion and Behavior.'''
: Section One: There shall be no religious test for student participation, but a voluntary Christian prayer shall be used at the beginning of classroom instruction.
: Section Two: There shall be no censorship of the Ten Commandments, "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance, or similar recognition of our Judaeo-Christian heritage.
: Section Three: God-honoring behavior shall be required at all activities.
: Section Four: Civility and chivalrous behavior shall be encouraged between boys and girls, and athletic competition between the genders shall be discouraged.
'''Article II: Curriculum.'''
: Section One: Textbook materials and assignments shall be free of liberal bias.
: Section Two: Instruction shall include teachings in history, government, writing and (if possible) economics.
: Section Three: All students shall learn to read well using phonics, and all problems in a particular student's ability to read shall be identified and corrected.
: Section Four: Instruction and discussions in all subjects shall be only in English (except for courses teaching foreign languages).
: Section Five: Friendly competition shall be encouraged to motivate students.
'''Article III: College and Culture.'''
