HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — The state House of Representatives voted Thursday largely along party lines to advance a bill adding new oversight to the state’s homeschooling system, with the Republican minority mounting a lengthy, if futile, campaign of opposition.
The final vote count was 96-53. All 49 Republicans voted against the bill and were joined by four Democrats who defected from their caucus. Democrats hold a 102-49 majority. Two Democrats were absent.

“The legislation was introduced amidst a string of alarming headlines documenting cases of alleged child abuse and, in two cases, the deaths of children who had been removed from the public school system.”
The link provided is also pretty alarming.
Connecticut parents, you are now working for the state. Regulations, like illegal immigrants, start as a trickle, and will become a tsunami.
Accept it. They have the power to take custody of your children if you don’t.
Short version: They have the power...you don’t.
Interesting...
The presstitute provides neither the name of the bill nor a hyperlink to it.
The enemedia outlet clearly doesn’t want its consumers reading the bill, does it...
Next up, mandatory curriculum including Islam adoration and queer theory.
Just leave that state! It will only get worse.
Here’s an article with a hyperlink to CT House Bill 5468...
https://ctmirror.org/2026/04/23/ct-homeschool-bill-hb-5468-approved-house/
The bill is 21 pages worth of I-can-see-why-they-don’t-want-you-to-read-that.
Now, if they were to investigate and regulate all of the Horsehiiite Religious Schools, they would get some support.
Kids can’t read and write in English.
Math is just a Target and Vision.
Tribal Separatism and Hate America are the top pursuits.
Madrassas, Yeshivas, Catholic and every other fringe denomination.
Stealing taxpayer money for decades and decades.
The CT House is just awful. Super-majority wacky leftists.
Why I fled Ct. Democrats bought a deep blue one party rule.
Democrats hold a 102-49 majority. (house)
State Senate, where Democrats hold a 25-11 majority.
Not mentioned is the iron grip teacher unions have on state politics. Ct is gone...
The children were removed from the school system so that means that they were already in the system. The system apparently forgot about them. The system failed, so yea, it only makes sense to penalize all homeschool parents.
The leftist can’t fathom that deadbeat parents wat to dump their kids off to government schools 8-10 hours a day so they can be deadbeat losers.
Homeschoolers are dedicated to their children 24/7/265. We don’t have time to be deadbeats.
But, at the same time, those same leftists know that we are teaching our children to be honest, responsible, in most cases Christian and in most cases not leftist. Naturally that must be demonized and threatened.
That's good, but the main point for us when we homeschooled was escaping incompetent, improperly taught, ignorant "educators".
A better name would be the Homeschool Persecution Act. The purpose of this is make it much more difficult to homeschool. It is a kiss on the cheek for the corrupt teachers’ unions.
Many liberal parents are starting to homeschool. We had kids that took so many “mental health” days that their parents had to pull them out of school and homeschool them or they would be held back.
Add outright abusive to that.
If we tied a child to a chair and left them there all day we would have been arrested. Schools do it to special needs students daily and no one blinks.
They better march to their State Capitol with AR-15s and 30 round mags to stop their tyrannical government ... oh ... never mind ....
Exactly. In both cases, the kids were school students. They were abused and never homeschooled. The school system and the state never helped them.
One was an 11yo girl named Mimi Torres-Garcia. She was a school student. She died, or started to die, during the summer after fifth grade. In August, when her mother filed paperwork to remove her from school, the young girl was already dead or dying. This was never a homeschool case. DCF had received reports about the mother, but the state let the children stay with her.
Another case was a 32yo man held captive in his home for 20 years. When he was in fourth grade, the school reported his parents for abuse. DCF visited his home twice before the parents pulled him from school. Then, DCF never followed up. He is suing the state because DCF failed to help him.
Three hundred word excerpt limit, right?
So what is the new oversight?
Lazy.
Thanks. I didn’t know any of those details but I was certain they were just following the standard anti family communist playbook
