FRANKFORT, Ky. - Home-schooled students would be eligible to participate in extra-curricular activities at a public school under the “Tim Tebow bill” that passed the Kentucky House on Tuesday.

State Rep. Stan Lee, R-Lexington, said home-schooled students deserve the right to try out for spots on public school athletic squads as long as they meet academic and immunization requirements.

“Give them a chance,” Lee urged fellow House lawmakers who passed the measure on a 55-34 vote. “After all, their parents are already paying property taxes to the public school districts”.

Rep. Derrick Graham, a retired public school teachers said he fears deserving public school students might be bumped from teams as a result of the legislation if it is enacted.

1. What a lousy idea

School is not an 'a la carte' buffet.
You're either in as a contributing part of the community
or you're not. Selfish Republicans.

2. How do you protect schools from liability from injuries arising from non-public school student

players?

3. The players in Texas have to purchase insurance policies in order to play.

I think that they also have to sign waivers holding the school harmless for any liability that exceeds the limits of the policy limits. There are a few parents who believe that they have a star player in the family so they get extremely large policy limit policies.

5. Bulls#$t...

Public schools aren't good enough for them to attend...they don't deserve to be part of the extracurricular activities.
