House Bill 303 has passed both the House and Senate and is heading back to the house for concurrence. If signed by Gov. Jindal or allowed to become law without his signature, home-schooled students will be able to participate in sports at LHSAA public or private schools.

Henry HB No. 303
Abstract: Provides relative to eligibility of students in state-approved home study programs
to participate in interscholastic athletics at high schools that are members of the
LHSAA. Provides guidelines, procedures, and limitations relative to such
participation.

It would be fun to trash talk some brainwashed homeschooled kid.

This is plain stupid. If the kids' parents want to homeschool them, they don't need to play on teams for organized high schools. Start a homeschool team. There are several issues with this including not being able to legitimize their scores and grades to be equal to other students.

Also, its not fair to the kids in that school trying to make the team.

How are they going to enforce the academic standards, even as low as they are?
