| Summary: | This study, based on interviews and participant observation, analyzes the lobbying efforts of participants in the New Christian Right home-schooling movement (HSM) as they pressure a state legislature to write a bill favorable to home-schooling. A resource mobilization appraoch is employed, but with some attention paid to the importance of grievances and ideology in conservative Christianity as contributors to mobilization. In this essay I consider the growth of home-schooling, the development of home-schooling support groups--originally intended as a network for educational and moral support--and the transformation of those support groups into grassroots lobbying bodies working for home-schooling legislation. |
