The anti-homeschool bill, HB2827, is currently stalled in the Illinois House due to advocacy efforts from parents and supporters across the state. However, the bill could still be revived and brought to a vote before the legislature adjourns for the summer. The sponsor of the bill has expressed intentions to do so.
Opponents of HB2827 argue that it seeks to restrict parental rights and educational freedom. They continue to advocate against it, urging constituents to maintain pressure through calls, emails, and letters.
"Together, we can protect the rights of families to educate their children — free from unnecessary government interference," states an advocate opposing the bill. Supporters are encouraged to sign a petition against HB2827 and share it with others.
A video discussing the details of this legislation is also available for those interested in understanding why continued engagement is crucial. "Your support will send a clear message that we all stand for parental rights and educational freedom in Illinois," adds another statement from an opponent of the bill.
