The recent headline of a Chicago Sun-Times article alarmingly reports that a Chicago Public School watchdog is fielding 3 complaints of sexual misconduct per school day. This comes on the heels of a Chicago Tribune report last summer that exposed that Chicago public schools had more than 520 sexual assault cases all across the city over the past decade.
According to the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR), only 38 percent of Illinois public school students meet proficient expectations in English Language Arts, only 32 percent of students meet proficiency expectations in math. This despite the fact that the NEA reports that taxpayers pay $16,925 per student per year in Illinois. For that kind of investment, the vast majority of students should not only be meeting proficiency expectations but also exceeding them.
In addition, we now have the serious problem of gender-confused boys demanding unrestricted access to girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms, and school boards and administrators affirming this nonsense. We also have a new state mandate that requires all students in K-12 public schools be taught positively about the “roles and contributions” of homosexuals and opposite-sex impersonators and requires that textbooks purchased include discussions of the those purported “roles and contributions.”
And let’s not forget that we have a state mandate in favor of highly objectionable sex ed material for the impressionable minds of government school children in 6th through 12th grade.
As if that isn’t enough, government schools are using instructional time to promote left-wing political views on climate change; open borders and global citizenship; Islamic studies and prayers to Allah; Howard Zinn’s warped view of America’s Founding Fathers; and the pernicious ideology of “intersectionality” that is designed to divide and pit Americans against each other.
Christian parents and grandparents must become aware of how prevalent these programs of perversion, subversion, and indoctrination have become in our local schools. That is why Herb Hebein, candidate for state representative in the 35th District, is hosting a special educational forum on this topic.
Author Alex Newman, contributing editor and foreign correspondent for The New American, has embarked on a heroic effort to tackle this existential threat to faith, family, and freedom. Mr. Newman has been on a nationwide, coast-to-coast “Rescuing Our Children” speaking tour that has reached more than 40 cities already. Newman warns parents 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 public schools is no longer an option.
We invite you to join us on Tuesday, December 3rd in Merrionette Park, along with concerned parents and national and statewide leaders, for this important opportunity to hear from Alex Newman as we explore what we need to do to begin to rebuild the culture through education. The cost is only $10 per person.
