The Ad Hoc Committee for Illinois Home Education Legal and Legislative Matters (Ad Hoc) is aware that several other states have had legal challenges to homeschooling already this season.
In anticipation of at least one IL Congressional Representative silly enough to challenge homeschooling this year, Ad Hoc requests all experienced Illinois homeschoolers and homeschool graduates to write positive letters with the following recommendations:
Dated and addressed to “To Whom it May Concern”
Under 1 page in length
No grammatical or spelling errors
Signed with name, city and state
Notarized when possible (to prove this is a grassroots effort and not 5 people writing 1000 letters each)
Mailed to Ad Hoc Committee, PO Box 74, Ringwood, IL 60072 OR emailed to contact@il-adhoc.org
It is hoped we could have several 1000 before May 1st, 2025 to have if we need them at a hearing.
As an example (but please do not copy):
To Whom it May Concern,
I am writing in support of maintaining our current homeschooling freedoms in Illinois. As a homeschool graduate, I am very thankful my parents had the freedom to homeschool our family. We each had numerous health challenges growing up, and our parent’s freedom to individualize our homeschooling so that our unique needs could be met made a huge difference in our lives. I am happy to say we are all doing great today!
Thank you for your support of homeschooling freedoms!
