In Illinois, Democrats have filed a bill that, if passed, will expand vastly the control of government over the education of children. House Bill 2827 , dubbed the Homeschool Bill, would bring government control of home schools as well as private and religious schools. Home schools and private schools would become de facto government schools.

Homeschool parents would be required to provide local and state education authorities annual reports with their children’s personal information, including gender identity, without any restrictions on what data would be mandated.

If parents fail to file this home school paperwork properly or in a timely fashion, they could be charged with a Class C misdemeanor and spend up to 30 days in jail.

The question is, why do public school educators and politicians believe they need personal information on students and families not enrolled in public schools? The Supreme Court has already ruled that parents have the sole right to direct the education and upbringing of their children.

Parents who had never known much about what students did all day were suddenly alarmed by the prevalence of radical dogmas.

And it's been that way since the Rockefellers funded the General Education Board over 100 years ago.

“Hillary Clinton popularized the phrase “it takes a village to raise a child,””

That Marxist coke-snorting lesbo bitch has done more damage to America in the last three decades than anyone, even including Obama.

The Supreme Court decision in Pierce v. Society of Sisters, as precedent, should squash this bill...even if passed.

I spent a good chunk of the 1990’s ‘DE-PROGRAMING my Step-Sons - as I cooked dinner and we tackled homework around the kitchen table - on a DAILY basis. I had no say in WHERE they attended school; I was ‘just’ the Evil Step Mom. ;)

It was tough sledding even then - and things aren’t NEARLY as bad as they are these days for ‘parents’ of any stripe. :(
