By: Diane Benjamin I don’t spend much time on LinkedIn, but I received this notification from Unit 5’s superintendent: . Since I’m just naturally curious, I clicked on the Inclusive Schooling link. That got me to the document below. Let me interpret it for you: Schools must teach to the bottom of the class so […]
By: Diane Benjamin Democrats need to explain why they passed this one: Excerpt: Amends the School Code. Provides that, beginning September 1, 2024, no referendum shall be required to build or purchase a building for school classroom or instructional purposes if, prior to the building or purchase of the building, the board determines, by resolution, […]
By: Diane Benjamin The Unit 5 School Board did nothing to control costs, they just want you to pay more. They are putting the exact same referendum back on the April ballot. That is the same referendum that was defeated in November. The only way it passes in April is if supporters vote and you […]
By: Diane Benjamin Government unions negotiate with friendly politicians over taxpayer’s money putting the public interest at odds with union interests. Private sector unions negotiate with management, public sector unions negotiate with the people they elect. The voice of taxpayers isn’t part of negotiations unless people representing them are elected. I ran across this on […]
By: Diane Benjamin 1) Unit 5 is counting on low voter turnout to pass yet another attempt to raise your taxes – that’s after they already raised property taxes. These current School Board members want re-elected: Kelly Pyle Amy Roser Both were appointed in 2018, they are part of the problem. Unions will be running […]
This one reveals who designed the three billboards. School Board elections are next April. Angels4Freedom will be promoting candidates for both Unit 5 and District 87. . . . . .
By: Diane Benjamin Follow-up to this story: https://blnnews.com/2022/08/23/fly-on-the-wall-unit-5-5/ This happened in Florida, think it can’t happen here? Christopher Rufo formerly leaned left – until he realized far left policies don’t work. This comment was made to the story yesterday: In my son’s Sociology class at Heartland the teacher had them wear wristbands that identify their […]
Next Wednesday Unit 5 will vote to put a referendum on the November ballot to raise property taxes. Taxes on a home valued at $180,000 will increase $500 a year. Nothing in the WOKE curriculum is being cut. Next April voters can elect non-teachers union backed School Board members. If this doesn’t pass in November, […]
By: Diane Benjamin Proving yet again government doesn’t care how high property taxes go, Unit 5 will tax next year far above the inflation rate. According to the Board website, the owner of a $175,000 house will be paying $160 more. https://meetings.boardbook.org/Public/Agenda/1482?meeting=431457 Wasn’t it just a year or two ago taxes were raised $400 on […]
By: Diane Benjamin Another election year, more racists. It is nothing more than a deflection of real issues. We know Black Lives only Matter as a talking point. Black Lives obviously don’t Matter in Chicago. They also don’t matter if you don’t vote Democrat, Biden told us. Thinking about running for local office as a […]

By: Diane Benjamin There has been a lot of talk about City elections, but nothing about School Boards. Why? Maybe you aren’t suppose to know! I couldn’t find anything on the Unit 5 or District 87 site, but I did find this: Unit 5 and Dist 87 now have Winter Break instead of Christmas Break. […]
