Krystle Able pretends to love Diversity and Inclusiveness. If you are pro-life and/or a Christian you aren’t included in her world. She proves frequently she is unfit for any public office.
The real extremists are those who judge people based on the color of their skin. That is what DEI does. Christian Nationalist is a made up term to vilify religious people who have no home in the Democrat Party. Remember when they kicked God out of their platform? When Illinois gets no federal money for schools for continuing to teach this vile ideology, blame the people like Able:
Private schools already exist. Krystle Able wants to force your kids to attend failing schools based on your zip code. Parents deserve School Choice! If Public Schools had to compete for students they would quit being indoctrination camps.
Krystle was trying really hard to appear like a center-left candidate for awhile. Her hate for any opinion she doesn’t agree with got the better of her this week. Did anyone notice empty stores on Friday? Her ilk declared a boycott on shopping which obviously wasn’t any more successful than the day a few weeks ago when “immigrants” weren’t supposed to work.
So much hate, the photoshop is hers:

You know the Bloomington water is bad when:

This is a glass of Bloomington water that sat on the countertop all night: (Cardinal Ridge/Southgate area)
The local GOP ‘s failure to recruit , retain and adequately support electable candidates for office enables Krystle and those like her to win elections. And elections have consequences. Hope you all enjoy your upcoming property tax bill !
Wrong, wrong, wrong Krystle! You don’t know what Neo-Equity is, so I guess that’s why you came up with an off the wall reason for the purpose of eliminating DEI in education. That’s a new one I’ve never heard! A Christian Nationalist School System. WOW! That will get you a lot of votes.
So, I had a long discussion with Grok3 about Unit 5’s Equity Audit trying to nail down the real meaning of “equity”. Grok took a look at the document, analyzed it and I asked a number of questions about its contents. Grok’s definition evolved quite a bit after our examination of the document. Our definition of Equity boiled down to this.
This is what Equity is as informed in Unit 5’s Equity Audit of 2021 which you can see at Unit5.org.
“In practice, Equity in DEI is a system that redefines fairness as equal outcomes for identity groups, prioritizing race, gender, and socioeconomic status over individual merit (e.g., targeted resource allocation, page 9). Rooted in Critical Race Theory, it assumes systemic racism permeates all disparities (page 128), enforcing this view through ideological mandates—labeling some as “victims” or “privileged” (page 120)—often without evidence (page 14). Backed by policies like staff training and group-focused interventions (page 115), it risks harming mental health by entrenching victimhood, clashing with laws like Title VI, and fostering division instead of unity, all while failing to close persistent gaps (page 118).
This approach invites significant legal risks, as its race-conscious policies could violate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination in federally funded programs, potentially leading to lawsuits (e.g., prioritizing “BIPOC” access, page 9). Additionally, its push to reshape beliefs (page 125) may infringe on First Amendment rights, drawing scrutiny from courts wary of ideological overreach in public education.”
Maybe you can understand why Equity is being expunged from education now and why many lawsuits are currently active because of it.
Unit 5 and other Illinois school districts are in a precarious position. If just one student, teacher or parent claims harm individual lawsuits, even class action suits, will begin.
For clarity, if the Cardinal Ridge/Hilltop area referenced consists of mobile home parks, the mobile home park owner is responsible for the water/sewer pipes within the park. The sediment in that glass could be from the pipes in the park.
