Keeping It Catholic's

Homeschool News Archives!


Updated August 20, 2006

 Keeping It Catholic's News Archives pages exist as a documented reference to the "History of the Homeschool Debate." Although the KIC website ceased reporting on the TORCH and NACHE situation by 2001, we still receive emails asking for updates on the unfortunate state of affairs in 1998-1999, which were reported on this website. Throughout the ensuing years, KIC also receives similar questions from those who subscribe to the KIC Email List.

 Since KIC must remain focused on its purpose (sharing with others the Church's doctrine on the Christian Education of Youth and how to apply it in our own "homeschools") - and since KIC had already provided enough documented information for Catholic homeschooling parents to assess the facts for themselves - it was decided to retain the News Archives for those seeking factual background information on the Catholic homeschooling disputes in 1998-1999, which remain unresolved to this day.
