Meet Jeffrey Lewis, homeschool dad, attorney, and president of Illinois Christian Home Educators (ICHE). In part 1 of this conversation with Jim Mason, HSLDA President, learn about the current legal landscape of homeschooling (especially in Illinois,) the media attention on further restricting home education freedom, and how Illinois homeschool families engage with lawmakers. “We've encouraged our homeschooling families: get to know your local lawmakers, get to know your local senators and representatives, so that they actually know who you are and where you are. Not so they can count you, but so that they know that you’re good, upstanding citizens that work in your communities, who vote, and [who] play a role in trying to do the right things that a society needs in order to keep being that society.” — Jeffrey Lewis
