How did they vote?

This afternoon, the Illinois House voted 64 to 43 to pass HB 5707, a completely unnecessary proposal by State Representative Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago), constituting nothing more than a reiteration of the Bullying Prevention Task Force recommendations that are available to all schools on the ISBE website.  Moreover, the fact that the bill’s sponsors and the ACLU have refused to ensure the rights of students and school employees to opt-out of “programming” and “training” that promote ideas that conflict with their personal and/or religious beliefs reveals the real goal, which is to use public education to promote unproven, non-factual beliefs about the nature and morality of homosexuality and “transgenderism.”  

Click HERE to see how your state representative voted on this legislation, or look at the graphic below.  State Representatives Tom Morrison (R-Palatine), Renee Kosel (R-Mokena), and Sandra Pihos (R-Lombard) spoke against the bill.

Unfortunately, Republicans Tom Cross (Plainfield), David McSweeney (Barrington), Jim Durkin, (Burr Ridge) and Kay Hatcher (Yorkville) all voted in favor of it.

The bill now moves to the Illinois Senate.

As the Illinois House of Representatives in Springfield stands poised to pass yet another homosexuality-affirming “anti-bullying” bill out of committee and as our public schools prepare for yet another homosexuality-affirming Day of Silence—all of which are sponsored by homosexual activists—it’s a good time to be reminded of the character of the country’s premier “anti-bullying” activist: Dan Savage.

Please endure this video to its repugnant end:

WARNING: HIGHLY OFFENSIVE CONTENT

Remember, this man who speaks so stupidly on “integrity” is the creator of the “anti-bullying” “It Gets Better” campaign, and he’s the man whom Barack Obama invited to the White House “Conference on Bullying Prevention.”

IFI once again offered to remain neutral on the newest proposed “anti-bullying” bill, HB 5707, sponsored by lesbian activist State Representative Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago) if the sponsors would include an opt-out conscience provision that would allow parents to opt their children out of any “anti-bullying” training that includes assumptions from homoerotic identity politics. Rep. Cassidy once again, refused.

Take ACTION:   Please click HERE to contact your state representative and urge her or him to oppose any “anti-bullying” bill that does not include an opt-out, and please keep your kids home from school on Friday if your administration is allowing students to refuse to speak in class.

Here’s more from the dishonest and vulgar Savage:

This first video is Dan Savage speaking to a group of high school journalism students. What if a high school were to invite Savage to speak to students on bullying. If Cassidy has her way, parents could not opt their children out:
