Illinois homeschooling update

The Governor's Commission on Revising the Illinois School Code held its second public hearing Thursday evening, 22 August, in Carterville, way down south near Carbondale.

Fifteen people attended the first hearing in Godfrey and 6 spoke against changes to the school code that would adversely affect homeschooling in Illinois. One week later, 95 people attended the second meeting and 27 spoke against the changes. The next hearing is in Decatur on Thursday 29 August - if you live in central Illinois please plan to attend:

Richland Community College, 1 College Park, Decatur, IL
Shilling Center, Salon 1 & 2, 1st Floor
5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Parking: Lot in front of College

Using this handy page, I've contacted local TV stations and newspapers about the hearing in Decatur; let's hope a few of their reporters show up to keep the bureaucrats honest.

Here's a newspaper account of the second hearing.

Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct, but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
