Currently he heads the nationwide 30,000-family Home School Legal Defense Association in Purcellville. With 31 em• ployees the organization > ' represents member home schoolers in legal disputes with school boards and legislatures.
In exchange for $100 yearly membership fee, $85 for those '^h^join as parts of groups, members receive free legal representation, six newsletters a year and a discount on standardized tests.
