A school teacher who planned & carried out political violence—and the warning signs were there. For years, parents have been told not to worry about what’s happening in classrooms. But when ideology replaces truth, the consequences are real. Parents, grandparents and pastors: it’s time to take a hard look.

For years, Illinois has chipped away at parental authority—one bill at a time. Now the state wants control over children’s medical decisions… without parents. HB 4834 is just the latest step in stripping parents of their rights. This is not accidental. It’s a coordinated agenda.

HB 4372 just passed the Illnois House: mandating “Latine studies” in every public school. More identity-based mandates. More bureaucracy. Same failing outcomes. They’re not requiring schools to teach real history—just to check identity boxes. Meanwhile, students keep falling behind in math, science, and reading.

Illinois lawmakers are doubling down on SEL with HB 4855—mandating it for every student and weaving it into every subject. This isn’t just “mental health”—it’s shaping attitudes and beliefs in the classroom. Parents, grandparents and pastors must be alerted.

SB 3138 may come up for a vote next week. If it passes, most people won't notice. There will be no dramatic headlines. Springfield will call it a routine update to an existing children's mental health law. This is the intent—stay low-key; the less noticeable, the better.

Illinois lawmakers are pushing more “mental health” mandates in government schools—but is this really about helping kids… or shaping their beliefs? Parents and grandparents should be very concerned. This goes far beyond education—it’s about influence.

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. When the dust settled, only some were disciplined — suspended from school based on video evidence from the building's surveillance cameras.

Sexually assaulting a student should never be treated less seriously than bringing a weapon to school. Illinois SB 2991 addresses a real gap in the law — but mandatory punishment demands professional investigations, formal hearings, and a higher evidentiary standard. Protect kids. Get the process right.

From graphic sex-ed and gender ideology to invasive mental health screenings, today’s classrooms are pushing agendas that undermine Christian values. But parents are not powerless. Learn how you can opt out—and take a stand to protect your child’s heart, mind, and innocence.
