FL Home Educators’ Day at the Capitol! The Ultimate Civics Field Trip
“It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds.” Samuel Adams

Join other home educators in the Historical Senate Chambers of the Old Capitol Building for a day of history and government and let your voice be heard.
