Teachers union officials are so insecure they are losing clout (and money) they are now trying to limit the rights of four million homeschooling parents.

Homeschooling only became legal in all 50 states in 1993, but since then, there have been few regulatory restrictions.  Home schooled students consistently perform better than public school students – which is a profound embarrassment to the professional educators.

This may explain why Connecticut’s Democratic legislature has passed a law to regulate and restrict homeschooling.

The bill subjects every homeschooling family to a background check just to exercise a basic parental right.  Opponents say it creates conditions where an outdated allegation against a parent can carry the same weight as a conviction.

Every Republican in both chambers voted against the bill, along with three brave Democrats in the Senate and four in the House.  If Governor Lamont vetoes the bill, Democrats don’t have enough votes to override him in either chamber.
