North Carolina Lt. Gov. Dan Forest has issued a press release telling parents who homeschool their children that they have the right under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to refuse warrantless entry into their homes by government officials without probable cause.

Forest issued the friendly reminder because, he says, North Carolina’s Division of Non-Public Education recently indicated its intention to resume inspecting the practices of homeschooling families across the state.

The Republican noted that homeschool inspection was a practice last seen in North Carolina in the 1980s. Back then, fewer than 1,000 students were homeschooled. Now, over 100,000 students have opted for
education at home.
