Friend --
In my three years as a member on the Joint Committee on
Administrative Rules (JCAR), I voted multiple times against Governor
Pritzker's overreaching executive orders.?JCAR is a process
committee and on many occasions I believed the Governor was usurping
the role of the legislature.?
The new culturally responsive teaching mandates from the
Illinois State Board of Elections (ISBE) are another example of
overreach from the Pritzker Administration. Few rights are more
fundamental than raising your children in the best manner
possible.?
I said many times on the floor of the Illinois Senate that it
should not act as a 59-member school board. The same is true about
ISBE. Parents, school boards, and local superintendents, not
unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats, should make decisions about your
children's education.?
You can read more about the new culturally responsive
mandates in my op-ed in The Southern here:?JCAR should reject politicization of teacher
certification
In case you missed it, I also hosted a Facebook Live with Ted
Dabrowski from Wirepoints about how you can take action against the
mandates. Watch it here: ISBE Education Mandates & JCAR
Thanks for reading. Stay safe and warm!
S/F,
