Democrats in Illinois just introduced HB2827 which would effectively put Government surveillance on homeschool families and require reporting. Meanwhile not a single student can read at grade level in 30 Illinois schools. Democrats are trying to screw over families whose parents are pulling their kids out of the government’s... show more

@Awake_IL Homeschooled kids are some of the smartest kids in the country

Mr Shelby1 year ago

🔴 The Hypocrisy: Instead of fixing the catastrophic failures of public education, Democrats are targeting families who are choosing a different path for their children. 🟡 The Bill’s Impact: HB2827 could lead to bureaucratic harassment of homeschoolers, discouraging families from opting out of a broken system. 🔴 The Bigger Picture: With public schools failing at unprecedented levels, more parents are turning to homeschooling. Rather than addressing why families are leaving, the state wants to punish them for doing so. This isn’t about education....it’s about control. Illinois politicians are losing their grip on parents who are waking up and taking charge of their kids’ futures. Instead of fixing schools, they’re trying to force families back in. 🔥 If public schools were actually educating kids, parents wouldn’t be leaving in the first place. 🔥

@Awake_IL So democrats will conduct surveillance on homeschooled families but won’t conduct surveillance on illegals that commit crimes? Sounds like a Democrat to me.

@Awake_IL Absolutely not! This is ridiculous! They do not own our children. They do not belong to the state!

@Awake_IL At a glance, it looks like that bill puts their homeschooling policy more in line with many other states. It looks a lot like what my family had to do when I was home educated for part of my childhood. It should therefore be opposed.

Out of 53 public schools in Illinois, not one student is proficient in math at grade level. The Department of Education has failed our children and must be abolished.

Illinois parents urgently need school choice alternatives. That was reinforced for me yesterday after my visit to St. Patrick's, a private school in Springfield, Illinois. I was so impressed with the student engagement, discipline and participation – and the teaching of values. Contrast that to nearby Feitshans Elementary, a public school in Springfield. There just 2% of kids read at grade level. Only 1% are at grade level in math. Governor JB Pritzker and Democratic supermajorities killed school choice at the end of 2023. They made Illinois the first state in the country to wipe out school choice. As your governor, I promise to do everything I can to bring back school choice for families trapped in failing schools. #twill IL Republican Party Ted For Illinois #schoolchoice

Illinois families are getting crushed by the highest combined state and local taxes in the entire country—and who’s been running this state into the ground for decades? Democrats. Higher taxes, reckless spending, and failed leadership are driving people out of Illinois. I’m in Springfield trying to keep the Democrats accountable!

Public schools in poor areas are failing kids. Only 30% are reading at their grade level, and many come from broken families. With school choice, these kids have an opportunity to better their lives and expand their potential. The reality is we have to try something different than the same failed policies the Democrat-backed teachers’ unions have given poor families and students.

🚨 Parents in Illinois are protesting a bill that would require homeschool parents to REGISTER their children and could potentially require submitting teaching materials to authorities. What if you are a parent that teaches Creation? What if you are a parent that teaches life begins at conception? Do you trust the state of Illinois to use this newfound power responsibly? ⬇️

Only 1 out of every 4 Chicago Public Schools students can read at grade level, and only 17% are proficient in math. Since 2019, CPS’s budget has grown by more than 57% to over $9 billion, yet there has been no significant improvement in test scores. Just 21% of students in Chicago can read and do math at an eighth-grade proficiency level. At Douglas Academy High School, which has the capacity for more than 900 students, only 34 were enrolled in 2024. The school spent $68,091 per student, 3x the average, yet failed to produce a single student proficient in either math or English at grade level.

With #HB1608, some lawmakers are trying to silence any mention of LGBTQ people in schools, grades K-3, which risks preventing kids with LGBTQ parents from even talking about their families. These families are fighting back against the "Don't Say Gay" bill. #IndianaSlateOfHate

Pritzker is forcing state-run mental health screenings on every Illinois student from 3rd–12th grade—while keeping parents in the dark about their right to OPT OUT. This is yet another mandate shoved onto local schools and another way for government to stick its nose where it doesn’t belong. Parents—not politicians—should decide what’s best for their kids.

Chicago suburbs and Northern Illinois schools just got busted by the DOJ. Dozens of districts are under investigation for pushing sexual orientation and gender ideology on kids from pre-K through 12th grade. Without ever notifying parents or offering any opt-out. These educators thought they could secretly experiment on our children while cashing those taxpayer checks. Our kids are not the government’s lab rats.

A sitting member of the U.S. House of Representatives is talking to elementary school children about being trans while parents are at work trying to provide for their families. Parents are fed up with schools and politicians pushing adult social issues on little kids instead of focusing on reading, writing, math, and science. Parents should decide when and how these conversations happen — not politicians in classrooms.

Connecticut is one of the few states that really has no regulations when it comes to homeschooling and homeschooling.Parents want it to stay that way. “We provide what we feel that our children need. Homeschooling. Parents like Stephanie are passionate about their choice to keep their children out of public schools, and they're telling lawmakers who are considering changes hands off” “Legislation being considered would require school districts to tell the state Board of Education what students are being removed from school. That information would be shared with the Department of Children and Families, but there could be some privacy issues with sharing that information” Homeschool families would have to demonstrate (e.g., via annual portfolios or assessments) that their education is “equivalent” to public school standards in core subjects like reading, math, science, and social studies

The state of Illinois spends over a billion dollars of tax payer money on “free” healthcare for illegal immigrants. Illinois is a failed state run by failed democrat policies. Our country will be in deep trouble if the democrats are allowed to cheat their way back into power.

Why is there a push to close Chicago Public Schools on May 1? According to the Illinois State Board of Education, only 1 in 3 CPS elementary students are proficient in reading and only 1 in 5 are proficient in math. Our kids need more time in the classroom, not less, yet Chicago parents are being asked for their kids to lose another day of school on May 1st for a political Day of Action. Parents and kids rely on schools for learning and consistency. Closing schools will send parents scrambling for babysitters or losing wages to stay home to care for their kids. For some kids, schools are where they get their meals and are the safest place they’ll be that day. As a CPS mom, I have skin in the game and expect my son to be in school where he belongs on May 1st. Keep Chicago’s students in the classroom, parents at work, and focus on the city’s test scores, not its politics. #chicago

The Supreme Court rules against Democrats and sides with parents “The Supreme Court is ruled on California policy regarding the notification of parents surrounding their child's gender identity. Today's ruling overturns a state law which prevented schools from notifying parents if students changed their pronouns or gender expression at school.” “This comes after some religious parents and educators challenge California school policies aimed at preventing schools from outing students to their families. California argued students have the right to privacy over their gender expression, especially if they fear rejection from their families.”

Parents are pulling their kids out of public schools, that’s a red flag. We have some of the highest levels of education funding, but our children still aren’t learning and our schools are some of the worst in the nation. This is Tina Kotek’s Oregon, she’s been falling students and parents, for almost four years, and we’ve had enough. When I’m Governor, we’re going to fix our schools and make sure funding goes to helping kids learn, not failed agendas and ideologies.

RIP Illinois taxpayers 🚨 Illinois taxpayer REJECTED a progressive income tax, Democrat leaders are MOVING AHEAD with creating a constitutional amendment anyway Deputy Leader Norine Hammond says despite “the election results which saw that Illinois voters soundly rejected the progressive income tax, Democrats have once again introduced a constitutional amendment for a progressive income tax. Yesterday, it was reported that progressive Democrats are just beginning their campaign for a graduated income tax hike. And this week, the Illinois Revenue Alliance, AKA the Tax and Spend alliance, presented a list of tax hikes that would raise taxes by $6 billion. And that does not include the graduated income tax hike, $6 billion in new taxes to pay for taxpayer funded health care benefits for illegal immigrants, more pork projects for Democrats, and more of their wasteful spending on programs. These tax hikes would further damage our economy and drive up the tax burden and the cost of living for Illinois families.”
