State Representative Chris Miller from Hindsboro, Illinois, has expressed strong opposition to the "Homeschool Act," known as HB 2827. According to Miller, the bill infringes on the freedoms of homeschooling parents. Although it has passed through committee, it awaits a vote in the House and continues to draw national attention.
Miller argues that radical Democrats are targeting homeschool families while ignoring illegal activities within communities. He stated, "Over 51,000 witness slips are filed in opposition to this bill, and that number represents thousands of Illinois families who don’t want state government in their personal lives." He further criticized the bill for creating state oversight that collects data from decisions made by homeschool parents.
The integrity of the bill has been questioned by some Illinois Democrats and remains a contentious issue. House Republicans have raised concerns about vague language that could lead to more mandates.
Miller assured his constituents, "I pledge to all Illinois residents I will continue to fight to protect the freedoms of homeschool families across the State of Illinois and will push back against radical legislators and their out-of-touch agenda."
