FPM defends the freedom of parents to train, educate, and care for their children privately, without governmental interference. FPM has worked to detect, analyze, monitor, and intervene in all legislation affecting the legality of private home education in California since 1986. FPM works at the California Legislature to protect the rights of parents to direct the education & care of their own children. FPM’s newsletter is sent to all who contribute $5 or more per year.
