The Home School Legal Defense Association said Wednesday that it is "considering its options" following an episode of NBC's Law & Order: SVU, which depicted a paranoid and abusive mother who home schools her two sons. The HSLDA called the episode, "There's No Place Like Home," a smear. "It is blatantly unfair to negatively portray a minority and tar every homeschooler with the same brush," the group said in a statement. It warned that the show, which featured guest appearances by Marlo Thomas and Dixie Carter, could encourage people to use the anonymous tip procedure described in the drama to point the finger at home-school families without factual basis for their complaints, resulting in "unwarranted harassment" by authorities.
