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 education and upbringing without interference from the state or any political subdivisions. It specifically prohibits the imposition of laws or regulations that would restrict a parent's ability to provide home-based education and clarifies that accepting public education funding does not forfeit these rights.

Additionally, the resolution emphasizes that the state cannot compel attendance at specific educational institutions or enforce compulsory attendance laws that limit a parent's right to educate their child at home. The proposed amendment will be referred to the next General Assembly for consideration and will be published by the Secretary of State as required by the Tennessee Constitution.
