Hundreds protest bill targeting homeschool families

As more than a thousand people rally over the last week in Springfield against a bill aimed at regulating home schooling in Illinois, the Chicago Tribune fires its own shot against the bill.

This week’s video features commentary on the Homeschool Act, a bill that takes aim at homeschool parents in Illinois.

Check out the blistering critique of the bill from the Chicago Tribune’s editorial board, and an article on protests against the bill at Capitol News Illinois.

To read the bill for yourself, head to the Illinois General Assembly’s page.
