Illinois Homeschoolers Fight to Stay Green - Not Even File Statements of Intent
Even Illinois, a state with no home school regulations, not even registration using statements of intent, must be vigilant against the loss of their freedom. As an inspiration from history, Rev. Muhlenberg, who in addition to his call to the ministry, rose to become one of the highest ranking officers of the American Revolution and a Congressman, reminded all he touched that if they failed to get involved to protect their liberties, there would be no liberties left to protect.
Congratulations to Illinois home schoolers for the great turnout of 4000 homeschoolers!
A few quotes from the article:
"Mercadante said roughly 4,000 people flooded the Illinois capital building in Springfield on Tuesday for an initial hearing for the bill."
"Other states such as Pennsylvania, New York and North Dakota have relatively high regulations, including requiring parents to submit test scores or allow home visits by state officials."
"They have opened a can of worms on this. We're continuing to work to get assurances from Maloney and the rest of the legislators that not only is SB 136 dead, but the entire issue of home schooling registration is also dead."
