Has Illinois been known for being hostile to homeschoolers?
Not legislatively, no. The irony is that in a state run by statist where every human act is limited, monitored and/or controlled they forgot to control homeschooling.
We were so far off their radar they wondered, “who wouldn’t be enrolled in our wonderful government schools?”
We’re the loosest in the 50 states that I know of. I was going to move to Florida or Texas, but they’re more draconian that “wild, wild west” Illinois. Go figure.
Illinois is hostile to anything to do with freedom.
Come join us in Oklahoma! It’s always been one of the best states for homeschoolers. :-)
