So yesterday I received this forwarded message outlining some very concerning parts of the government's new #SchoolsBill, smuggled in in the recent Queen's Speech.

This bill seems to be an OUTRAGEOUS infringement on the rights of parents who want to home educate.
The bill is currently at committe stage in the Lord's.

And yet I've been amazed to find virtually no media coverage on this. Why? Have people just lost it in the midst of all the other current fiascos?

How is this happening under a TORY government?

@spectator - you love criticising Boris' expasnion of the state. Where's your coverage here?

@NewStatesman - you're the leading Labour mag. Where's your coverage?

@unherd - this is totally your bag. Where's your coverage?
@toadmeister - you're President of @SpeechUnion, what say you? Are parents not free to take their children out of school?
Other UK journos I respect - @DouglasKMurray, @Louise_m_perry, @moveincircles, @FraserNelson, @Anoosh_C, @stephenkb, @AndrewMarr9 @IsabelHardman, @katyballs - are any of your investigating this?

People Left and Right should surely be up in arms about this.
The only substantial thing I've found is this excellent episode from @IrreverendPod

Great work @DrJFronkl @holydisrupter

@nadhimzahawi - what on earth are you playing at?

@bphillipsonMP - why aren't you speaking up against this as Shadow Ed Sec?

@EdwardJDavey - you're my MP, I wrote to you on this yesterday. Where are the Lib Dems?
@CConcern and @christianorguk - are you saying anything about this? Shocked to find nothing from you so far.
Full documents for the bill are linked below.

The government (again, a TORY government!) are grossly overstepping the remit of the state here.
