<a href="https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2025/01/30/lott-30-il-schools-have-zero-students-proficient-in-reading-n2407574" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">A couple of weeks ago, we told you</a> that Illinois has thirty schools where <strong><em>zero students&nbsp;</em></strong>are proficient in reading.

It's shameful. But, true to form, Illinois legislators have the real problem in their crosshairs: homeschooling.

'All your children are belong to us' -- the state motto of Illinois.

They don't think parents have rights. That's the problem.

The family is a barrier to their Left-wing revolution.

Huh. We bet all those homeschool and private school kids can read, though.

They do not. Because it makes them look bad.

They have their priorities, and keeping kids in failing schools is one of them.

It's a culture -- from the school to the community -- that doesn't value education.

Which is why no amount of spending will fix it.

 {ai:summary}<p>Illinois legislators have introduced HB2827, a bill aimed at increasing government oversight of homeschooling and private schools, requiring annual reporting of student rosters. This move comes despite alarming statistics showing that 30 schools in Illinois have zero students proficient in reading.</p><p>Critics argue that the bill undermines parental rights and distracts from the state's failure to address educational shortcomings. With over 60% of students in Illinois not reading at grade level, opponents question the focus on regulating homeschoolers instead of improving public education. #education</p>
