Homeschoolers Emerge as Political Force for Ron Paul

The Ron Paul campaign has announced three New Hampshire members of a new "Homeschoolers for Ron Paul" national advisory board, with the goal being to energize voters who value school choice.

The board members include former state Rep. Tom Langlais of Epsom, state Rep. Paul Ingbretson of North Haverhill, and constitutional scholar Lee Button of Epsom.

"Every child is an individual, and every parent should have the right to educate their child as they see fit," Langlais said in the campaign's official announcement today. "Ron Paul respects that, and we respect him."

Ingbretson has worked on educational issues in the state Legislature. Button, a former president of Christian Home Educators of New Hampshire, is vice chairman of the National Heritage Center for Constitutional Studies. And Langlais is a father of five, homeschooler of four, according to Ron Paul 2012.
