Illinois House Republican Leader Tony McCombie strongly opposed HB2827, a bill that adds unnecessary regulations on homeschooling families in Illinois. The legislation was presented today in the House Education Policy Committee and advanced to the House Floor for further consideration. Following the committee hearing, Leader McCombie issued the following statement:
“Today, the Democrat majority silenced over 35,000 advocates who oppose this misguided legislation—a blatant disservice to Illinois families that must not be ignored.”
“With the serious challenges facing our state, lawmakers should be addressing real problems, not creating solutions for issues that don’t exist. HB2827 is nothing more than a strategic push for more government control, doing nothing to tackle the true root issues plaguing public education.”
