Connecticut's homeschool law of 276 years could be rewritten this week as HB 5468 sits on the Senate calendar. We break down what the bill actually does, what HSLDA said at yesterday's Hartford press conference, and the deeper covenantal question every homeschool parent should be asking. Then a practical plan to finish the May home stretch without burning out.
