Who We Are

In response to an intolerable lack of Christian freedom to home school in Oregon, the Parents Education Association was formed in 1983. Our original mission was to defend and extend home school and private school liberties. God blessed in ways far beyond our expectations. Heading a cooperative effort of home schoolers around the State, we successfully introduced and lobbied for the passage of what became known as the 1985 Home School Freedom Bill. Overnight, Oregon's home school law moved from one of worst to one of the best in the country.

For the next decade, we successfully defended our hard fought home school liberties from attacks by the educational establishment in Salem. We also worked arm in arm with other Christian political activists and helped elect a pro-family majority in the Oregon House and Senate.

In 1996, we reorganized as a Ballot Measures PAC (Political Action Committee) and began to publish the Biblical Ballot Measures Voters Guide. For the past five years, we have helped hundreds of thousands of Christians throughout the State think through a wide variety of public policy issues from a distinctively Christian perspective.
