::::''There shall be no religious test for student participation...''  I think I see now - I originally read this to mean that the ''students'' need not sign a statement of faith.  So are you intending this Constitution to be used only by Christian homeschooling groups (which in my experience usually require the ''parents'' to sign a statement of faith, at least if they take leadership positions), or do you think that secular/inclusive groups (or even groups of other faiths) will be interested in adopting this document?  FWIW, all of the Christian (Protestant) and Christian (Catholic) schools I am familiar with in my area incorporate prayer throughout the school day, even though some of their students are not Christian.  It is an important part of what parents are looking for in a faith-based school.--[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 10:55, 27 September 2008 (EDT)

::::: I don't draw a distinction between students rather than parents signing a statement of faith.  This Constitution prohibits statements of faith, but endorses classroom prayers.  Many homeschool groups do the opposite, which is counterproductive rather than productive.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 22:28, 2 October 2008 (EDT)
    
'''Article II:  Curriculum.'''  I am assuming here that you are writing this for a group which offers classes to homeschoolers?
