Stand Up for Education Freedom: Oppose Illinois #HB2827!
Dear Readers,
We encourage you to visit our friends at Awake Illinois for critical information about Illinois House Bill #HB2827. Here’s a summary of a recent email received by Awake IL why this bill needs our immediate attention and opposition:
- Opposition Needed: We must all oppose IL #HB2827, recently filed by radical Democrats.
- Successful Advocacy: In 2021, we submitted over 60,000 witness slips to support the Healthcare Right of Conscience Act. Last year, we successfully stopped HB4876 before it even entered committee.
- Threat to Homeschool Freedom: HB2827 would override educational freedoms that have supported homeschoolers since 1950.
- New Requirements: If passed, all Illinois homeschool students would need to file documentation with local government school offices, leading to increased government oversight.
- Impact on Non-Public Schools: The bill would also require non-public schools to register with the State Board of Education.
- Community Engagement: A recent video shared by Libs of TikTok has received over 850,000 views, raising awareness about this issue.
- Initial Momentum: As of now, over 450 emails have been sent to bill sponsors and committee members, a promising start as the bill is still new.
- Call to Action: Continue emailing and calling your representatives and senators. More information can be found on Awake Illinois’ website and blog.
Together, we can protect homeschooling rights and ensure parental freedoms remain intact. Awake Illinois had made this simple! Please visit their website for more detailed information.
