Just prior to a hearing on SB136, a proposal that would force Home Schoolers to register with the state and undergo criminal background checks, 4000 home schoolers converged on the IL State Capitol in Springfield to make their voices heard in protest to this attempt to take away their freedom. While waiting for the hearing, they started singing "America The Beautiful".
I was there and it was so wonderful to see so many people stand up for what they believe in. It was something my four children will not forget

4,000 of Illinois best for once not being drowned out by the ignorant majority. And it sounded as good as any choir. Great job, and good for them!
