By: Diane Benjamin I can prove it! In God We Trust is still on our money, if progressives have their way it won’t be much longer. This is pretty much the last place God is allowed in today’s society, but that isn’t what you need to see. Read the bottom of the back side. I […]
By: Diane Benjamin Start with what most people would agree with: Students should to be taught how to think, not what to think. That means the cultural and political views of teachers should never enter the classroom. If your kids know who their teacher voted for, where they stand on abortion, or what activism they […]
If you know a student in Kat Mudd’s 1st grade class at Pepper Ridge, I need to talk to a parent! By: Diane Benjamin A tip I received claimed a 1st Grade Teacher in Unit 5 is telling her class they aren’t boys or girls. The “wokeness” goes farther so if this is true it […]
By: Diane Benjamin A picture was posted on Facebook from a book called Gender Queer. That picture is posted below, if you don’t want to see it don’t scroll down. I consider it pornography. A reader asked Unit 5 if they have this book. Below is the request and answer, the reader’s name and email […]
All the needed money has been raised! Both Unit 5 and District 87 School Boards are meeting tonight at 6:30. As of this morning Unit 5 parents have raised around $4700 to sue Unit 5 over the mask mandate. Both School Boards need to know parents won’t stand for indoctrination and masks. Contribute here: Wouldn’t […]
By: Diane Benjamin One reason: https://illinoisavengers1.wixsite.com/savederek/post/covid-cash That link has a BUNCH of questions school districts MUST answer. You can access all the payouts Illinois forked over to schools in emergency relief funds from that link too. I pulled out McLean County. Here’s your homework: Start sending FOIA’s. Blind copy me please, blnnews@yahoo.com Since lots of […]
Flying around I just heard Unit 5 (North West) is COVID testing kids and doing vaccinations. Did the parents consent? Nobody under 30 in McLean County has died of COVID: https://health.mcleancountyil.gov/708/CORONAVIRUS-COVID-19 I wonder if taxpayers will be forced to pay for any damages:
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 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 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 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 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 […]
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 Press Release: ATTENTION:We do not elect masters to tell us what to do. We elect those to represent us in service to The People, by The People, and for The People. We are not a democracy, we are a representative republic engaged in a democratic process in that it is The People’s […]
By: Diane Benjamin What makes student successful? Commons sense tells you it’s parents who prioritize education. They tell their kids education is the path to success. They make sure their kids go to bed at a reasonable hour and get up ready for school. They make sure homework is done and they meet with teachers […]
By: Diane Benjamin Unlike District 87’s handwritten return, Unit 5’s Teachers Union paid a CPA firm to do theirs. I have a 2020 return for them: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/display_990/371245404/04_2021_prefixes_37-38%2F371245404_202006_990EO_2021042217989367 First thing to notice is they don’t take in near as much money from members as District 87 (2006: $187,804): Note the last line above: $319,389 on hand […]
By: Diane Benjamin Unit 5 has two unions. One is teachers – UFEA, the other is for professional staff – UFSPA. Both recommended three candidates for the Unit 5 School Board in the April 2021 election. They got two of the three elected: Stan Gozur and Kentrica Coleman. From their websites: http://www.ufspa.org/vote/ In 2023 FOUR […]
By: Diane Benjamin Thanks to Becky Swan for letting me know Unit 5 is holding a special meeting tomorrow. From their website, they already decided your kids need to wear masks: If you have to wear a mask if you aren’t vaccinated to attend, think kids are going to exempt? Maybe they will discriminate against […]
By: Diane Benjamin Pritzker has signed a bill requiring schools to teach media literacy. How will this be implemented? Will the Russia hoax media be recommended? How about the Charlottesville hoax media? Why is only conservative media reporting Covid-positive illegals flooding the southern border and being flown across the country by the military and released? […]
By: Diane Benjamin All Illinois government salaries and pensions can be found from this link: https://www.openthebooks.com/illinois/#School%20District Every time a unit of government hires additional staff or provides lavish salaries, the pension costs go up. They know it doesn’t matter because YOU will be forced to pay by law. Your “public servants”. This one is interesting, […]
By: Diane Benjamin The people claiming CRT is only in law school will get their comments deleted. I know where your indoctrination took place, it wasn’t in law school. This comment was made at a Naperville School Board meeting. This lady covers CRT really well! Now jump to the Unit 5 website: https://www.unit5.org/domain/3645 Unit 5 […]
By: Diane Benjamin The below is from an email announcing Institute Day for Teachers. Look at who sent it and what the teachers are TRAINED to teach: When kids are divided by race you are teaching the teachers Critical Race Theory so they can use it in the classroom. Nikki Mauer thinks she has white […]
By: Diane Benjamin As of 6/29/2021 no one was in the hospital for COVID. Deaths by age in McLean County show ZERO deaths for people under 30, why risk giving an experimental vaccine to children who aren’t in any danger of dying? Positivity rated is now .002. That means if 10,000 people get tested only […]
By: Diane Benjamin H/t a reader Does EQUITY apply to sports in District 87 and Unit 5? If: Every child who wants to play can’t, where’s the EQUITY? Every child doesn’t get equal playing time, where’s the EQUITY? Why is the score kept? Doesn’t that violate EQUITY? If EQUITY doesn’t apply to sports, why does […]
Source: https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/06/critical-race-theory-illinois-teacher-sues-district-over-equity-push/ Excerpts: Illinois drama teacher Stacy Deemer sued the Evanston-Skokie School District (District 65) over its critical race theory training classes with ‘highly racial content that stereotypes White people.” The teacher claims the school is violating the Constitution. The teacher brought the lawsuit under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and Title VI of […]
By: Diane Benjamin Local school Districts claim the 1619 Project isn’t being taught. Obviously it is since numerous students mentioned it at the District 87 School Board meeting. See this article, the author even admits it isn’t history: https://legalinsurrection.com/2020/07/1619-project-creator-admits-it-is-not-a-history-but-a-fight-to-control-the-national-narrative/ Nikole Hannah-Jones won a Pulitzer prize for her fiction however. First the Nobel Prize (Obama) diminishes […]
By: Diane Benjamin Remember Sonny Garcia parading around with a bullhorn outside the Unit 5 School Board meeting? https://blnnews.com/2021/06/17/unit-5-community-organizing-by-the-local-socialists/ If anybody felt intimidated at that meeting is was the people trying to get past his screaming. A reader asked me what he was chanting, honestly I couldn’t understand a word of what he was saying. […]
By: Diane Benjamin Posting comments is at my discretion. This is my site and I can do anything I want with it. Sometimes I allow the ridiculous because I know readers will deal with them. Sometimes I just don’t feel like explaining the obvious to people who don’t care. I’m really good at telling who […]
By: Diane Benjamin Of course Illinois doesn’t call it that, we’ve seen the School Boards using alternate terms to disguise what is happening. Illinois calls it: Culturally Responsive Teaching and Leading Standards In other words, we aren’t a melting pot of Americans. Kids will be educated based on the color of their skin and their […]
By: Diane Benjamin This Unit 5 teacher did: He supposedly teaches music. I wonder how Critical Race Theory fits into music? The story: https://www.dailywire.com/news/here-are-the-thousands-of-teachers-who-say-theyre-willing-to-violate-law-to-keep-pushing-crt Here Are The Thousands Of Teachers Who Say They’re Willing To Violate Law To Keep Pushing CRT Excerpts: Thousands of teachers have pledged to continue teaching based on critical race theory even […]
By: Diane Benjamin The radical local leftists are trying to get a State Farm employee fired. During the Unit 5 School Board meeting they claim he gave the Nazi hand gesture, he didn’t. He merely raised his hand that he was guilty of not wearing his mask. If State Farm complies with the demands of […]
By: Diane Benjamin Government only thinks they can set rules for citizens at public comment. They can limit your time, but not what you say. Chris Koos tries it, Mboka Mwilambwe just started reading a statement to limit you, Unit 5 did last week, and so did District 87 two weeks ago. Be inspired – […]
By: Diane Benjamin Expecting public schools to not indoctrinate kids is never going to happen. Instead parents need to demand School Choice. Where your kids go to school should not be decided based on your zip code. It is discriminatory to low income kids who often get tossed into schools with substandard education. If the […]
By: Diane Benjamin I taped this clip from the Live Stream video. This speaker claims to be a 30 year old transgender graduate who fears for his life from the domestic terrorists who spoke at the District 87 Board meeting. He claims his dad told him to not get “shot”. There are no bridges to […]
