Constitutional Amendments - Proposes an amendment to Article XI, Section 12 of the Constitution of Tennessee to establish that parents have the inherent right to direct the education of the parent's child; prohibits the state from interfering with such rights through the adoption or enforcement of any law or rule that abridges, infringes upon, or restricts a parent's right to provide home-based education. -

HJR 92 proposes amending Tennessee's constitution to establish parents' inherent right to direct their child's education, including home-based schooling. It prohibits the state or local governments from creating or enforcing laws that restrict this right or impose regulations on home education. The amendment explicitly states that accepting public education funds (like scholarships or vouchers) does not waive this parental right. This proposal is still under review by the Education Committee's K-12 Subcommittee and would require voter approval if passed by the legislature.
