Homeschool Lobby Day is being observed at the State Capitol today, with families and advocates gathering to support homeschooling rights.

Democrats have introduced a bill, HB 2827, which proposes additional reporting, curricular, and administrative requirements for homeschooling families. Opponents argue that these mandates are intrusive and unnecessary. They emphasize the belief that parents are best positioned to make educational decisions for their children.

A petition has been launched to protect homeschool freedom in Illinois. The petition can be found under "Tipsword Homeschool Petition – Illinois House Republicans."
