Post Election Reflections

Posted on November 8, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
I didn’t like any of the three non-binding advisory questions on the ballot here in Illinois. The “Millionaire Tax” serves as a “gotcha” move by those who live with envy. And the Assisted Reproductive Healthcare Advisory Question is laden with controversy.

You Cannot Homeschool

Posted on July 13, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
A homeschool advocate acquainted with an IFI staff member recently answered over 150 Facebook messages about homeschooling.  "It's just blowing up!" the advocate said. "Lots and lots of parents from central and southern IL wanting out." Homeschooling has been around for a few decades now, and it has made significant advances in quality and acceptability over the years, but it usually seems to have been relegated to the academic fringes.

Opt Out of Nasty Sex Ed Classes in Government Schools

Posted on September 27, 2023 by David E Smith
When you hear the terms “comprehensive,” "medically accurate" and "age appropriate" as ways to describe the content of what is being taught to your children in government schools, alarm bells should sound in your head. “Comprehensive sex education”  is a one-size-fits-all approach to sex education and is anything but “age- appropriate” curriculum.

High School Senior Says: “A Whole Generation of Kids Are Being Brainwashed”

Posted on July 1, 2021 by David E Smith
Many parents these days find themselves asking a simple, yet important, question: What’s the point in sending my child to a Christian school when public school is far cheaper? I have often asked my parents this very question, since I have gone to a Christian school my whole life. However, as I have grown older and observed the world around me, I now see why they wanted me to attend a Christian school for all these years.

The Sordid History and Deadly Consequences of ‘Sex Ed’ at School

Posted on May 25, 2021 by David E Smith

This article was originally published in April 2020.

Very few people realize that the reason children today are being sexualized at school is because pedophiles sexually abused hundreds of children, then claimed that the victims enjoyed it. That’s a fact, and the documents prove it.

In government schools all across the United States today, young children are literally being encouraged to experiment with fornication, masturbation, sodomy, oral sex, and all manner of sexual activities. It often begins as early as kindergarten and elementary school.

In fact, what passes for contemporary “sex education” in the United States and around the Western …

Hardly a day goes by that you don’t hear the question: How did we get in this mess?  Where did this lunacy come from, and how did it all happen so quickly?  Well, let’s play a game. Let’s play “imagine.”

There’s a battle raging right now over sex education, and our kids are in the line of fire.“Your teacher told you what?” These are the first words of too many parents when they discover what their teens and pre-teens are learning in health class.

Things That Make You Say, “Huh?”

Posted on June 17, 2015 by David E Smith

According to a recent study in the American Public Health Journal, kids who identify as “LGBTQ” are not only getting pregnant, even though they claim to identify with sexual behaviors which are non-procreative same-sex interactions, they are getting pregnant at MORE THAN TWICE the rate of their heterosexual peers!

The study comes out of New York. Liberals have been quick to blame abstinence education. However, according the Guttmacher Institute, New York doesn’t even require abstinence as a part of their sex education, nor are parents required to give consent regarding their child’s sex education instruction.

Ironically, the Centers for …

New Sex Ed Bill in Springfield — Still Bad

Posted on May 19, 2011 by David E Smith

The “comprehensive” sex education bill that we alerted you to in March has been re-written and re-introduced as HB 3027 and will soon be heard in the Illinois State Senate.

Background

HB 3027 is completely unnecessary and an intrusion into local control. Public schools in Illinois already have the ability to teach “comprehensive” sex education if they wish. Local public school administrators do not need a mandate from Springfield telling them they must teach comprehensive sex education when the preponderance of evidence suggests that authentic abstinence education is successful.

Our own Laurie Higgins identifies a number of significant problems with …
