And we pray for the people of this chamber and the Senate, members past and present. Let us today and everyday do Your will. And for the other public servants in local governments and the judicial, and executive branch, that they also be stewards of Your will.

Cynthia Johnson, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement: “Mr. Speaker and members of the House: In 2015, Stoni Blair and Stephen Berry were found dead in a deep freezer in Detroit. Before their murders, their mother, Mitchelle Blair, pulled them from public school to home school them. She admitted to killing Stoni and Stephen and storing them in the freezer, as well as admitted to charges of torture and neglect. House Bill 4063 makes a change as it relates to home school students that, in a vacuum, makes sense. Parents who are homeschooling their children should be allowed to serve as the administrator who signs off on their child’s work permit. However, in the grand scheme of things, the issue is one of checks and balances. Michigan’s homeschooling system has few opportunities child to be checked in on. In almost all cases, a check in, like a school administrator signing off on a work permit, is at most, a slight inconvenience. Unfortunately, as evidenced by the deaths of Stoni and Stephen, sometimes it is absolutely necessary and can be lifesaving. Until we address the issue of checks and balances on our homeschool system, I cannot in good conscience, vote to remove the few ones we have.” House Bill No. 4088, entitled A bill to amend 1994 PA 451, entitled “Natural resources and environmental protection act,” by amending section 40111a (MCL 324.40111a), as amended by 2015 PA 265.
