Hundreds of families gathered at the Connecticut state Capitol to protest new regulations on homeschooling and vaccinations. The protests were prompted by two high-profile child abuse cases involving victims who were withdrawn from school under the guise of being homeschooled. A new bill proposes that parents who teach at home would have to prove their children are receiving an "equivalent education" to public schools. Critics argue this is vague and leaves parents vulnerable to frivolous challenges. The protesters also targeted proposed changes to Connecticut's vaccine rules, which supporters argue are necessary as the Trump administration has reduced its recommended vaccines list.
