English and Math Proficiency Takes a Back Seat to LGBTQ Propaganda
Here was the headline: “Only 33 Percent of Students Proficient in English, Math.”
Last month, IFI’s Laurie Higgins wrote: “Devilish Details in School Sexuality-Indoctrination Bill.” And in a recent IFA Spotlight podcast, Higgins discussed the Illinois state senate’s approval of the bill mandating the teaching of “Leftist assumptions about deviant sexuality” in government-run schools. It also requires that eighth grade children will have to be tested on them “in order to move on to high school.”
Let us back up for a minute — here is Higgins explaining the legislation that recently passed the state …
Devilish Details in School Sexuality-Indoctrination Bill
Leftist Public School Indoctrination Bill Moving Forward in Springfield
The noxious Leftist “Inclusive Curriculum” bill (SB 3249 and HB 5596) created by two Chicago-based homosexual/”trans” activist organizations (i.e., Equality Illinois and the Illinois Safe Schools Alliance) is moving through the Illinois Senate. The central goal of this costly and ideologically driven mandate that robs schools of local control is to use curricula in government schools to transform the way children think and feel about homosexuality and biological-sex rejection (aka as “transgenderism”).
If passed, this indoctrination bill will require that any “book or book substitute that will be used as a text or text substitute” in …
Inclusive Curriculum Bill and the Church of Secularism
I object to two legislative attempts to impose the Secular Religion upon citizens of Illinois: SB 3249 and HB 5596. They are wholly unnecessary as LGBTQ icons and their works are already present in government schools.
My objections concern the establishment of secularism as our national religion, the valorization of LGBTQ icons more for their sexuality than their gifts and accomplishments, and using the legislature of Illinois as a social engineering lab.
In this my 65th year, our society is nuts. Rather than being led forth into light and away from ignorance, children are being herded by teachers (and …
Sexuality Propaganda: From Drip Drip Drip to Downpour
It may be the drip, drip, drip that gets your kids. A scene in a movie, a passage in a novel, a sympathetic portrayal of homosexuality in a play, a song by a well-know musician, a bullying prevention presentation at school, a visually arresting advertisement depicting homosexuality or opposite-sex impersonation positively… week after week, month after month, year after year.
Add to that the vociferous condemnation of disapproval of homosexuality or of the “trans” ideology (including opposition to co-ed private spaces) and voilà, children’s hearts and minds have been transformed—or, rather, deformed.
There are no widespread rational discussions of Leftist …
Wait Till You See What LGBTQQAP Activists Have Planned for Illinois Schools
While conservatives squeak “uncle” about the “social issues” from the dark recesses of their homes and churches where they hide, the jackbooted Left marches boldly forward obsessed with making the “social issues” the central plank of everything. They’re especially obsessed with transforming the hearts and minds of other people’s children using taxpayer-funded government schools in which they have an audience of cultural captives.
The newest brazen effort to exploit public money in the service of propagandizing Illinois children is a creation of Equality Illinois and the Illinois Safe Schools Alliance, two of Illinois’ dubious “LGBTQQAP” activist organizations, and their most …
