Did you all know that Illinois just passed what they call Critical Responsive Teaching and Learning Standards? Do you know what is in this far left agenda for kids in our public schools? I have a friend who is ready to fight the state on this but doesn't know where to start.
Any legal friends out there willing to point her in the right direction? illinoisfamily.org/education/desp…
The Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) voted to approve standards that will infuse assumptions of Critical Race Theory/identity politics/BLM into:
1. all teacher-training programs.
2. all Professional Education Licensing (PEL).
3. all public school classrooms.

Not even plea from the left-leaning Chicago Tribune Editorial Board to JCAR not to pass these controversial standards—standards that the editorial board described as politicized—was sufficient to stop the Democrats from exploiting gov’t schools for leftist propaganda purposes.
The standards were created by a committee hand-picked by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), which is controlled by leftists.
While having the effect of law, these standards constitute an amendment to existing school code, so they did not have to go through the normal lawmaking process, which would involve more transparency, floor debates in Springfield, and every Illinois lawmaker publicly voting.
The “woke” standards the ISBE issued are as follows: isbe.net/Lists/News/New…
Unelected wokesters on the ISBE committee that created these radical standards think Illinois conservatives are stupid. isbe.net/Documents/CRTL…
