Be Louder Podcast | HB 2827: The Government's War on Homeschooling in Illinois

In this episode of Be Louder, Latasha H. Fields breaks down Illinois House Bill 2827—a dangerous piece of legislation that aims to criminalize and monitor homeschool families under the false narrative of "educational neglect and abuse."

As a wife, mother, home educator for over 18 years, and parental rights advocate, Latasha exposes the hypocrisy of a broken public education system that fails our children—yet wants to regulate the very parents who are doing it right.

Only 35% of Illinois students are proficient in reading. Just 28% in math. Meanwhile, Chicago Public Schools have only 29% reading on grade and 18% proficient in math, yet receives over $9 billion annually, and sexual abuse investigations are piling up across school districts—including DuPage County, the home district of Rep. Terra Costa Howard, who sponsors this bill.

Yet HB 2827 targets innocent homeschoolers, demanding they prove their innocence while violating their constitutional rights:

First Amendment: Religious persecution under the guise of oversight

Fourth Amendment: Unjustified investigations and government intrusion

Fourteenth Amendment: Unequal treatment under the law

Privacy Act: Forced disclosure of private family and educational info

In this episode, you’ll hear:

The core legal concepts threatened by HB 2827

A taxpayer's perspective on funding failure in public schools

A deep dive into the constitutional implications of the bill

Real evidence of public school failure, violence, and sexual misconduct that the state refuses to fix

Why parents must rise up and fight this overreach—legally, spiritually, and publicly

Now is the time to BE LOUDER. We’re not just pushing back—we’re exposing the truth and defending our children’s future.
