Homeschooling curriculum? There is always the "noncompliant" option, a long tradition in the homeschooling community (homeschooling got its start from parents breaking laws). Supposedly compliance is pretty pro-forma; I've never heard of anyone not being approved. In fact I'm not sure disaproval is even possible. I believe the real reason for having to submit curriculum is to bow to the power of the educrats.
As to homeschooling kids not reading, anyone who is homeschooling ought to be aware of the "unschooling" philosophy. I've read many times of parents who didn't push their kids to read. They might have one daughter reading at age 5, while (usually) a son might not read at age 10. Revisit two years later, both read equally well (the son finally realizing he needs it for the things that interest him). I'm not personally up to complete unschooling but I understand it works...
Midwifery? Try a search; I recall some discussion of this issue. Don't recall the details though.
Alaska carry laws? Last year such a law (with a fairly lame imprementation in my opinion) got through the Wyoming House with a healthy majority but ran out of time (I guess) in the Senate. Such is fairly common because Wyoming has extremely short sessions: 20 days in even years and 40 days in odd years (or vice versa). I believe Alaska carry is going to be part of the state GOP platform (we passed that in the Park Co. GOP anyway). It is fairly likely to happen soon. The restrictions on where carry is possible may also be removed. Note that carry violations are misdemeanors, and it seems most Wyoming cops don't get a hernia about guns, so it ain't a big deal to get caught.
Wyoming, like
all other states, is not free. More and more liberty-harming laws get passed all the time, again just like other states. I am convinced this is a structural feature of representative democracy. So yeah, the legislature sucks, and the governor sucks too. But the Wyoming people are overall more freedom-loving than most, in my opinion.
