Earlier today, I had the honor of welcoming my nephew, Willie, to Springfield as my page for the day. Willie is homeschooled and he accompanied me on the House Floor as I gave a speech regarding HB 2827.
HB 2827 is a classic example of ridiculous and unacceptable government overreach. Children who are homeschooled receive an amazing education, have ample field trips and other hands-on learning experiences, and have the same opportunities in life as children who attend public schools.
Parents know what’s best for their children, and there is no reason the government should be involved in this.
