Welcome to Hot Topics! Gabrielle Crichlow talks to returning guest Darren Jones about the legalities of homeschooling (again!) and the ways that parents can be well-informed about it (again!).

Who is Darren Jones?
Darren Jones has been with the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) since 1996, serving as a legal assistant and an attorney in various capacities. At the office, he dedicates 40% of his time to assisting members facing legal difficulties, reassuring them that HSLDA supports them. Darren spends another 40% of his time advising homeschool group leaders on matters ranging from crafting statements of faith, with a preference for the Nicene Creed, to designing policies that protect children at co-ops. He allocates 10% of his time to writing legal briefs, often pondering how 30-page documents can be considered "brief," and another 10% to ensuring HSLDA and its sister organizations comply with the charitable solicitation laws of numerous jurisdictions. Throughout his work, he is 100% committed to advocating for parents' fundamental right to direct their children's education. Darren and his wife, Sara, have homeschooled their four children, with the oldest two having graduated. In his free time, he enjoys playing board games, teaching Sunday school, and speaking at homeschool conferences nationwide.
