So, I guess I'm just curious of the general thoughts on this bill because I, personally, think it's a good thing but I want to make sure that opinion isn't coming from a place of not understanding.

From what I understand the bill requires everyone (not just homeschoolers) to confirm if the children in their supervision are going to public school, private school or being homeschooled. And it requires a one-time check to pull a child from school in order to homeschool to confirm no one in the house is on the state's abuse and neglect registry, or has an open case with DCF.

I will say, I don't have children. I am aware that is an important thing to note, and part of why I'm posting about it. I want to make sure that I'm not missing some pivotal viewpoint simply because I don't have kids. But at the end of the day, I fail to see how these are bad things. I can understand why people across the board might not like having to submit to the state how they're educating their child(ren). I see the benefit, but can understand why that would make people unhappy. But...why are people so against the second part that seems to be designed to prevent children from having to be stuck with actual or potential abusers where nobody can see them and their condition day-to-day?

I appreciate any insight, opinions and thoughts anyone might want to share. Also sorry if this is a topic thats been heavily discussed. I didn't scroll super deep so...that would be on me. But I also really enjoy the healthy discourse that is generally the norm in this group.
