We are sad to report that some Illinois lawmakers want to mandate kindergarten. Parents—not politicians—should decide when a child is ready. Where does it stop? Mandatory preschool next? Please tell your State Representative to vote NO on HB 4253 if it comes up for a vote this session.

On February 24, 2026—the same evening President Trump called for a national ban on gender ideology in schools during his State of the Union address—Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL-15) introduced H.R. 7661, the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act.

In the spring of 2025, a group of elementary school students was shadowboxing in a gymnasium in downstate Illinois. One student was struck, and several others were involved in the incident.

On August 29, 2024, an 18 year-old adult male student walked unannounced into Libertyville High School’s girls’ locker room. He proceeded to change in front of minor girls. Not only this, he – a legal adult – observed the girls as they changed.

Don’t be fooled: Banned Books Week isn’t about free speech—it’s about pushing an agenda. Behind the slogans of “intellectual freedom,” activists highlight sexually explicit and progressive titles while sidelining books that uphold faith, family, and traditional values. It’s time for parents and communities to push back, ask hard questions, and make sure the books that matter don’t get silenced.

OUTRAGEOUS: The Chicago Teachers Union is honoring a so-called ‘revolutionary fighter’ — Assata Shakur, convicted of shooting and killing NJ State Trooper Werner Foerster in 1973.
