House Joint Resolution 92, sponsored by Barrett, proposes an amendment to Article XI, Section 12 of the Tennessee Constitution to affirm and protect parental rights regarding the upbringing and education of their children. The resolution asserts that parents have the inherent right to direct their child's upbringing, including their education, and prohibits the state or any political subdivision from interfering with this right. Specifically, it aims to prevent any laws or regulations that would restrict a parent's ability to provide home-based education, ensuring that such rights are not forfeited by accepting public education funding.

Additionally, the proposed amendment clarifies that the state cannot compel attendance at specific educational institutions or impose compulsory attendance laws that would limit a parent's right to educate their child at home. The resolution mandates that this amendment be referred to the next General Assembly for consideration and requires publication by the Secretary of State on official websites.
