"… On Feb. 16, a joint committee of the state legislature will decide whether to turn into a legal requirement the State Board of Education’s recommendation that — until a slight rewording — would mandate that all public-school teachers “embrace and encourage progressive viewpoints and perspectives.” If the board’s policy is ratified, Illinois will become a place congenial only for parents who are comfortable consigning their children to “education” that is political indoctrination, audaciously announced and comprehensively enforced.
Imposing uniformity of thought is the board of education’s agenda for “Culturally Responsive Teaching and Leading” (CRTL).

"The public schools in most of America have been looking like a lost cause from a conservative perspective for at least a few generations. In the past, however, the changes were more organic. Liberal culture on college campuses and among the faculty bred new graduating classes of aspiring educators who had been immersed in the same mindset. Those graduates went on to take positions in the public school system. From that point, much like a COVID superspreader event, they began indoctrinating the children from an early age, preparing them to go on to the same colleges that produced their teachers. Thus the cycle continued.
What’s going on in Illinois is something else entirely, though. They are preparing to institute a mandatory system where freedom of speech and the open debate of ideas and philosophies will not only be shut down, but the muzzling will be done under the auspices of the state government. Parents who are concerned about this sort of officially endorsed brainwashing will no longer have the option of simply moving to the next town over in the hope that the schools will be better. They will need to flee the state."
