Homeschooling rules come to CT. But not everyone is happy

Season 2 Episode 19 | 52m 05s

Opponents of the new rules say they are inconsistent with the state’s civil-liberties tradition. But child advocates and lawmakers supporting the rules say they will help track and better protect kids. Hear from the new state child advocate about why the law matters.
