SUMMARY:Local Parents Organize to Protect Students from LGBTQ Curriculum Mandate
DESCRIPTION:  \nDid You Know? \nOn August 9\, 2019\, Governor J.B. Pritzker signed Illinois House Bill 246 into law. It states that as of this coming July 1st\, “In public schools only\, the teaching of History shall include the study of the roles and contributions of lesbian\, gay\, bisexual and transgender people in the history of this country and this state.” \n“No pupils shall be graduated from the eighth grade of any public school unless he or she has received such instruction in the History of the United States and gives evidence of having a comprehensive knowledge thereof.” \n\nThis law mandates the above requirements for children in grades K-8\nCurrent text resources that do not comply MUST be replaced at taxpayer’s expense\nThere is NO OPT-OUT provision in this law\nChildren grades K-8 must learn from the new texts and be tested on said content\nThere is a newly forming Community Organization to address this issue and others\n\nParents & Taxpayers Organization 452-477 \nInform. Deliberate. Advise. \nPTO 452-477 is a grassroots community organization that gives parents and other taxpayers in Oak Forest and Tinley Park a collective voice in determining how this law gets implemented. Our children are the most precious assets we have as a community. We cannot let legislators in Springfield decide the needs of our community. Let’s TOGETHER bring common sense to School District decision-making. \nFirst Meeting: Monday\, February 24  6:45 PM to 8 PM \nLocation: Central Park 15601 S Central\, Oak Forest   Conference Room \nSecond Meeting: Monday\, March 23\, Same time and place \n  \nFor Information please contact Joe Cascone at casconejoe@gmail.com or visit PTO 452-477 on Facebook \n  \n  \n
