This bill is a threat/eventual threat to the rights of Illinois home schoolers.
On the surface, the bill does not look too threatening- but I think this bill is only a first step and there will be more attempts at state control of home school curriculum in the future. Home schools are sacred places and many families home school for moral/religious reasons, not just academic ones. The state has no business in our homes and how we educate OUR children. Have they not done enough damage in the public schools, providing an environment of indifferentism, liberalism, modernism, and every other negative "ism" that can come to mind?
Fight this bill. If we give them an inch they will take a mile.
