Illinois District 128 Continues to Violate the Constitution and Title IX
Illinois District 128 is forcing biological girls to share overnight accommodations with biological males and keeping parents in the dark on "secret gender transitions." This is a direct assault on parental rights, privacy, and student safety. Good on the Liberty Justice Center for holding them to the fire.

Good Intentions, Unprotected Children
"Good intentions" have left children completely unprotected. From failing schools to a federal court ruling that protects the private possession of AI-generated child abuse images, our institutions are actively failing the next generation.

Not All Private Schools Are Created Equal
Don't assume your child's private school is a safe haven. Many are quietly pushing the same DEI agendas and woke indoctrination found in government schools. It is time for parents to stop being passive and start vetting where their kids are being educated.

The State Is Not a Parent
For the past half century, I have watched the federal government, state governments, and local governments throughout this country - including here in Illinois - systematically squeeze parents out of their children's care and replace them with agents of the state.

Home education freedoms are at a crossroads in the United States. The choice before us is whether homeschool families will retain the mandate for education or whether, God forbid, we cede it to the State.

Stand Up!
Football fans come to know, and often despise, the term “interference.” It usually results in a penalty against the defensive or even the offensive player preventing a pass from being completed. The Chicago Bears have seen their share of these—and our Illinois college teams as well.

What You Lose When You Send Your Kids to Public School.
