It’s a truism that the modern liberal project is the very opposite of live and let live. While the left proclaims autonomy as its highest virtue in all matters sexual, they are the very opposite of libertarian on everything else. That is why blue states tend to have the most restrictive laws in nearly every other sphere of life.

Which is what makes Connecticut such an anomaly when it comes to homeschooling. Connecticut is about as deep-blue as it gets. But our state’s law regarding homeschooling is one of the most permissive in the country. In fact, there are very few laws regulating homeschoolers in Connecticut.
