Cherry Pie Day 2020
ICHE Legislative Days, especially Cherry Pie Day, is a proactive effort to remind our legislators--as well as our governor--that homeschoolers are very, very politically active, and we zealously protect our hard-fought-for homeschooling rights.

Parents must be aware that if they hope to protect their children against intellectual dumbing down as well as the rampant cultural-moral, spiritual subversion, then sending them to government schools is no longer an option. Only 38 percent of Illinois public school students meet proficiency expectations in English Language Arts, only 32 percent of students meet proficiency expectations in math. This despite the fact that taxpayers pay $16,925 per student per year.

Black Families Matter Rally: Rescheduled
We believe that to minimize confrontations with the police, eliminate visits to the abortion clinics, school dropouts and delinquency, incarcerations, as well as the illicit use of drugs and drug suppliers, we must focus on combating the underlying problem--the dysfunction and disintegration of the Black Family. Because, if "Black Lives" really matter, we must commit to building our communities with a legacy of strong family values.
