If you have children or grandchildren in the public school system, be sure to attend the Illinois Family Institute Common Core Symposium. More information here.

Dr. Duke Pesta will lead this important event on Friday April 8th at the Stone Church in Orland Park. Dr Pesta is an education reformer who will outline new Common Core threats to science and history standards and he’ll discuss ways that parents and educators can fight the Obama administration’s overreach into local schools. Common Core is also drawing attention in the presidential race with a well-known faith leader weighing in.
