DEFENDING HOME SCHOOLING

Defending Parental Rights & Local Autonomy

Defending family privacy and local control means reversing recent government overreach. Philip will introduce legislation to completely repeal House Bill 5468, a mandate imposing intrusive oversight and mandatory background checks on families choosing parent-managed learning. Having personally testified against this bill at the Capitol, Philip knows firsthand that it represents an unjustified invasion of parental rights. Furthermore, because the state passed this massive regulatory framework without providing any funding, individual towns like West Hartford are forced to absorb the administrative costs. Repealing this mandate will restore educational independence while protecting local taxpayers.
