By: Diane Benjamin Packet for Tuesday: https://normal.org/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/4067 History moment: Uptown was planned by Doug Farr from Chicago. He is the source of no street parking, just like Chicago. Next Normal was advised by Lyle Sumek, he lives in Florida. He got fired. Tuesday night the Council will approve this: Does Chris Koos keep hiring consultants […]
By: Diane Benjamin See the email below. OSF is demanding all employees be vaccinated. They will no longer recognize a religious or pregnancy deferral for not complying with Pritzker. Question 1 for OSF: Why do you take (illegal) executive orders about healthcare from a morbidly obese governor? Pritzker knows being morbidly obese puts him in […]
By: Diane Benjamin I’ve been hearing for week about COVID cases raging in other countries among the VACCINATED. Our media claims cases are the fault of the unvaccinated. Finally the truth comes out: https://www.news-gazette.com/coronavirus/it-came-as-a-huge-surprise-most-new-ui-cases-among-fully-vaccinated/article_97e83ef7-06ef-54e4-b5e3-cf9ff5672c93.html Excerpts: I’m still waiting for the truth about those hospitalized. In Israel the majority are vaccinated.
By: Diane Benjamin This story was important for you to read: https://blnnews.com/2021/09/01/story-2-americas-future/ Lots of people read it. I hope it shocked you like it shocked me that anyone could write a story claiming capitalism must be destroyed when capitalism is America. Capitalism is merely producing something people want and getting paid for it. The opposite […]
By: Diane Benjamin Yesterday I reported at District 87 only 19% of 8th Graders passed Algebra. 52% of graduates that attended community college had to take remedial courses to learn what District 87 didn’t teach them: https://blnnews.com/2021/09/02/more-on-district-87/ That 52% was from 2018, think the percent is better or worse now after remote learning? How does […]
Did I hear right from a Unit 5 teacher? A Unit 5 COVID positive teacher came to school without wearing a mask? The entire class is now quarantined?
By: Diane Benjamin The below proves District 87 should concentrate on education instead of social justice. Schools prepare kids to be adults, if they fail the kids have a limited future. There is limited data available for how the kids did academically last year because District 87 (and many others) decided not to participate in […]
By: Diane Benjamin From the website: https://www.district87.org/Page/1 Link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JQLFB2H The survey has 31 characteristics you think the next superintendent should have. You get to pick 10, comments can also be entered. Two on the list show being “woke” is what they will be looking for if you don’t demand the kids are […]
By: Diane Benjamin Did you agree with Story 1? The article below was included on an email I received by FOIA from District 87. America is a capitalist country where individuals are free to chart their own life. We have stocked shelves because companies want to profit. If there was no financial reward for creating […]
By: Diane Benjamin Readers: Today you must READ. I know in a meme world, short gets read and longer is ignored. Below is the first thing you must read to see the difference in what is being pushed in schools. It was shocking to me and it should be shocking to you, especially if you […]
Four+ years ago I had an anonymous source within a local government agency I don’t cover very often. The informant used Fred on his emails and email account. I emailed Fred but the account no longer exists. Fred, if you are out there and still reading, email me! blnnews@yahoo.com
By: Diane Benjamin Other countries and even some states aren’t abusing their kids with masks. This teacher has it right, the abuse isn’t going to end until we all demand it! The local positivity rate was down to 3.6% as of two days ago – it hasn’t been updated since. Note how many people under […]
By: Diane Benjamin The below is from an email I received by FOIA from Unit 5. It is a recap sent to all staff of the June School Board meeting: Unit 5 is saying SB818 only affects grades 6-12. The recap does says Erin’s law is taught below 6th grade: See the YWCA instruction here, […]
By: Diane Benjamin Follow-up to this story: https://blnnews.com/2021/08/30/schools-cant-quarantine-your-kids/ Unit 5 wants a student who isn’t sick banned from the attending school for 14 days. Her crime was being within 3 feet of a student who tested positive for COVID. Everyone in the school is required to wear masks. The masks supposedly protect people against COVID […]
8:45 am update – Unit 5 sent the child home. Obviously the Health Department and Unit 5 know masks don’t prevent spreading COVID. It’s child abuse! By: Diane Benjamin Some people want to pretend they can take away your rights whenever they feel like it. They can’t if you don’t allow them to. State workers: […]
By: Diane Benjamin Yesterday around 3:30 I tried to call two communications people at the Town of Normal. Both were out of the office. Friday’s must be get out early day. I wanted to know if masks are required at the Sweetcorn Circus. Pritzker’s latest attack on freedom to breath doesn’t go into effect until […]
By: Diane Benjamin Follow up to this story: Received by FOIA, total $2,670.75. Wait for him to be appointed Project Manager for the underpass. This is tiny compared to what he will get.
By: Diane Benjamin If you missed the update to Normal West’s evacuation drill, at least 25% of the students were left behind because of not enough buses. https://blnnews.com/2021/08/25/fly-on-the-wall-normal-west-2/ I’m reading a ton of emails from Unit 5, I also have emails from District 87 I haven’t started reading yet. One thing is clear, some parents […]
By: Diane Benjamin Below is a long email signed by 6 Cedar Ridge teachers. Evidently spell check doesn’t work or the writer doesn’t care about spelling when writing to the Superintendent. Kristen Weikle’s response follows. The Unit 5 overlords didn’t appreciate citizens disturbing their meeting. I didn’t feel tension in the room, the writer did. […]
By: Diane Benjamin I redacted the name. This email was received by FOIA, but it represents many others. Parents have been convinced their kids are going to die if they get COVID. Some parents can’t wait for their child to get the shot when they have no data for what it will do to them […]
By: Diane Benjamin Evidently the owner doesn’t believe vaccines work, is he scared of his shadow too? He only wants vaccinated people in his store but they have to wear a mask? What about people who had COVID and therefore have antibodies? They aren’t allowed in? Daniel C Maloney doesn’t believe people know how to […]
Nobody with power is using science – it’s all about CONTROL.
By: Diane Benjamin Remember when the local Democratic Socialists showed up at the June Unit 5 School Board meeting? With bullhorn in hand they obstructed people wanting to enter the building: https://blnnews.com/2021/06/17/unit-5-community-organizing-by-the-local-socialists/ Socialists are anti-American. They believe government makes better decisions than you do and therefore have the right to seize private property, mandate vaccines, […]
By: Diane Benjamin I’m only posting this because Unit 5 School Board is meeting tonight. Critical Race Theory will be taught as part of an elective course this year: CRT starts with the assumption that systemic racism exists. That is a FALSE narrative. There are reason for income disparity, racism isn’t one of them. Your […]
By: Diane Benjamin We do have two Americas. Unless we start to understand why a wall has been erected to divide us the wall will never come down. The ACLU emailed a podcast today that is a must listen for those who want to know why liberals and progressives are outraged at citizens, parents, and […]
The drill was today. It was a planned drill. They did not have enough buses to transport the entire school. Some students were left behind. If this had been a real emergency would that be your child left behind? Anybody using common sense? Overheard at parents open house last night: A school emergency demanding evacuations […]
By: Diane Benjamin Doug Fansler recently filed a FOIA request with the Town of Normal concerning their EV charging stations: Can you please provide details of usage of Town owned charging stations like those in the parking garage (Tesla and all others? If there is a report, please share that with me. Otherwise I would […]
By: Diane Benjamin ISBE does not have the authority to require masks and there is NO evidence they work. Around 50 Districts around the State are saying no, Unit 5 isn’t one of them. This is an internal email, one child less subject to the mask abuse: Remember the Nazi salute controversy a few meetings […]
By: Diane Benjamin I guarantee you will be cheering too (unless you are woke). The School Board voted to ban CRT after he spoke. Wednesday night the ISU Academic Senate will likely pass by a LARGE majority a graduation requirement to create “woke” students. They call it IDEAS – Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access in […]
By: Diane Benjamin Remember Doug Fansler? He’s the guy trying to get the Town of Normal to remove the stop signs in the middle of the roads in Normal: https://blnnews.com/2021/08/19/mia-common-sense-in-normal/ Yesterday we found out why the Town has no common sense: Chris Koos Doug was on Linden stopped at the train tracks by Uptown because […]
By: Diane Benjamin When elected individuals are sworn into office with an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America – citizens have the right to expect them to do it. America has always attempted to create “a more perfect union”, we don’t need representatives that want the system […]
See update at the end. By: Diane Benjamin Unit 5 seems to think they can redact emails without any consequences. I previously reported the Attorney General is finally investigating a claim I filed with them months ago because virtually every email was redacted on a previous FOIA request. I just received a partial FOIA request […]
By: Diane Benjamin https://www.cityblm.org/home/showpublisheddocument/26853/637649014385500000 From bills and payroll: If you thought anybody was serious about combining the County 911 Dispatch Center with Bloomington’s, buying new furniture likely nixes that idea: Meeting agenda: http://bloomingtonil.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=1&ID=1130&Inline=True Jenn Carrillo’s last meeting – she will likely get a plaque for her service. I wonder if she will show up? Consent […]
They seek input on the project? Stop by and see!
By: Diane Benjamin Thanks to Sonja Reece for posting pics of this event! No, they aren’t all eating. Look in the background for people visiting maskless. Karyn smith proves yet again she has abandoned representing citizens for the elite crowd. Since Pritzker Executive Orders are meaningless so are any uttered by the Town of Normal. […]
By: Diane Benjamin It wasn’t that long ago when the Town of Normal was punishing businesses with fines who were just trying to stay open. Hypocrisy now should encourage those businesses to file lawsuits against Chris Koos and Pam Reece because TWICE in the past few weeks they have proven that Executive Orders and internal […]
