Tim Tebow Act Resurfaces

Alabama state Sen. Shadrack McGill is attempting to pass a bill to allow students who are home schooled to play sports at public schools.

The Republican is pushing the Tim Tebow Act," which has failed in years past due to opposition from the High School Athletic Association.

The bill is named after former University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, who was home schooled but played football at Nease High School in Ponte Vedra Beach. Florida passed legislation in 1996 that allows home-schooled students to participate in athletics at the public school in their assigned district.

McGill says 29 other states allow home-schooled students to participate in sports at public schools and argues it is only fair since their parents pay the same taxes. South Carolina passed the Tim Tebow Law last year.
