HARTFORD, Conn. – Connecticut parents are coming together to oppose recommendations stemming from a review of the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre that would require some homeschooling families to file progress reports with the state.

Parents rights groups from across Connecticut have come together to form a new Parental Rights Coalition aimed at fighting proposals by a governor appointed Sandy Hook Advisory Commission that are expected to be unveiled this week, TheHour.com reports.

One of the recommendations in the commission’s draft report is a requirement for students with mental or emotional problems who transfers from public schools to home school to continue with individual education programs designed by the former.

The draft recommendation would only apply to students with an IEP in place before they left for home school, but members of the new parents coalition believe the move could open the door to similar requirements for all homeschooled children, according to the news site.

“The commission’s recommendations demonstrate a disregard for both the rule of law and our right as parents to direct the care, upbringing and education of our children,” Donna Person, board member of the Education Association of Christian Homeschoolers, told The Hour.

The IEP recommendation stems from the commission’s study of Adam Lanza, the 20-year-old shooter who killed 20 first-graders and six staff at Sandy Hook Elementary in December 2012. The group found Lanza was a “homebound” student at times – though not a home schooled student – and his isolation likely played into his actions.

Pearson told the Hartford Currant believes the commission is jumping to conclusions that homeschooled students are isolated, or violent, which isn’t the case.

“Despite the conclusion of the Office of the Child Advocate that no links could be drawn between the failures in Adam Lanza’s education … (and) his violence, the Sand Hook Advisory Commission determined that home-schooled students are socially isolated, that isolation leads to violence and that this requires mandatory government oversight,” she said.

“This flies in the face of extensive, well-respected, peer-reviewed published research into the social, emotional and mental health of home-educated students.”

Family Institute of Connecticut Executive Director Peter Wolfgang contends “home-schooling had nothing to do with what happened” in 2012.

“ … (F)or the sandy hook commission to use this horrible tragedy as a pretext to increase government control over parental rights … is an outrage,” he said, according to the Currant.

Will Estrada, director of federal relations for the Home School Legal Defense Association, told the news site that if the Sandy Hook commission’s recommendations are eventually adopted, “it would make Connecticut the worst in the nation when it comes to home-schooling freedom.”

Currently, there are between 5,000 and 10,000 home schooling parents in Connecticut.

The Currant reports the Parental Rights Coalition is also concerned with proposals floated in the legislature in the past that would require all homeschooled students to receive mandatory mental health exams.

“The measure has been raised in the past two legislative sessions, but Sen. Terry Gerratana, co-chairwoman of the legislature’s public health committee, said she does not expect it to come up this year,” according to the news site.
