Connecticut’s Homeschool Hokum. The Sandy Hook Advisory Commission continues to tread on parents’ rights.​

City Journal reports:
Hand it to the members of Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Advisory Commission: they won’t admit that they had it wrong. Instead of retracting the false claim that homeschooling had something to do with Adam Lanza’s heinous crime in December 2012, in which he gunned down 26 people, including 20 children, at a Newtown elementary school, the 16-member panel continues to flail around in search of a connection. At its most recent meeting, Governor Dannel Malloy’s hand-picked commission sought new ways to prevent Connecticut parents from educating their children as they see fit. But as commission member Dr. Harold I. Schwartz himself admits, the commission’s latest draft recommendation “is not perfectly thought out.”
Your child is more likely to be assaulted or wind up functionally illiterate attending a Connecticut government school then being schooled at home. Just a reminder.
