Hello Readers!
This is an urgent post regarding a bill on the registering of homeschoolers in Illinois.
The bill, SB-136, would compel all home school parents to register their children with the state. This could also lead to the state being able to control what parents teach their children.
This is a violation of our rights as homeschoolers and as U.S. citizens. It takes from Americans' rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...among other things!
Please voice your opinion in this area.
Those of you who feel the same as I do, call and email our senators like crazy!!!!!!
And if you're really fired up....go to the hearing;
held in Springfield, IL.
Here is a link to a very helpful website, which will direct you to where exactly the hearing will be held and how you can get a hold of our senators, before hand.
