American History: LGBTQ Edition
American Spectator ^ | October 1, 2019 | Nicole Russell

Posted on 10/01/2019 5:36:23 AM PDT by karpov

A new Illinois law requires Illinois schools to teach kids of all ages about the contributions of the LGBTQ community, the Chicago Tribune reported last month. Illinois Gov. J. B. Pritzker signed the Inclusive Curriculum Law August 9; it mandates that public schools teach students as early as possible about contributions lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people have made to U.S. state and national history. The details about why it passed and who passed it demonstrate just how much the LGBTQ lobby is targeting children to focus on a specific ideology, excluding others — with taxpayer dollars.

While the bill passed handily in both the Illinois state House and Senate (60-42 and 37-17, respectively), its sponsors left it purposely vague. The Inclusive Curriculum Law simply says the teaching of U.S. and Illinois history in public schools “shall include a study of the roles and contributions of” LGBTQ people without specifying just how this should be done.

Mark Klaisner, president of the Illinois Association of Regional Superintendents of Schools, said he regrets that the law fails to provide more structure about the teaching but has offered to help “compile resources for schools to draw from,” the Tribune reported. “Being that vague could mean a simple unit or a few lessons at one grade level in the school, which I think is insufficient,” Klaisner said. “On the other hand, we don’t want [state officials] to be too heavy-handed when they tell exactly what’s going to be said.”

One of the bill’s sponsors, Rep. Anna Moeller, a Democrat, said the mandate is “not prescriptive” and although different groups will offer schools guidance on how to execute the details of this law, the state won’t be offering any more specific guidelines.

Being queer is not an accomplishment. If someone is worth mentioning as a political figure, inventor, scientist, or artist, their sex life should not affect their inclusion in a textbook one way or the other.

Then left handed Norwegians deserve a class too.

There is no community of left handed Norwegians and no community of LGBTQZXYEZ either.

Are they going to insist that children be taught that Abraham Lincoln was a homosexual?

Next the Democrat-controlled legislature will pass a law requiring that schools call Abraham Lincoln a Democrat and forbid using any textbooks which refer to him as a Republican.

I would be ok with this, if it was going to be an honest history. Of course we know that would never happen.

LGBTQ people tend to realize at some level that their lifestyle is abhorrent, misguided, and just plain wrong. But most are in some phase of deep seeded denial which causes them to have a compulsion to push their perversion on to others, especially impressionable children.

It’s a sexual desire for children compulsion.

Can sane teachers teach about how they contributed almost single-handedly to the deadly AIDS epidemic?

CAGW Names Illinois Gov. J. B. Pritzker September 2019 Porker of the Month
Citizens Against Government Waste ^ | September 2019 | Citizens Against Government Waste

Posted on 9/28/2019, 10:14:46 PM by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) named Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker (D) September 2019 Porker of the Month for signing a $40.1 billion budget without any spending restraints and $1.4 billion in pork-barrel projects.

223.9 billion shortfall, which breaks down to a debt burden of $52,600 per taxpayer. The state has $6 billion in unpaid bills and the lowest credit rating of any state in the country. Its unfunded pension liability tops $130 billion. Illinois taxpayers are so saddled with debt, taxes, corrupt local government, and dwindling middle-class jobs that 157,000 residents have left over the past five years.

This posting by FR’s says it best and when printed up makes a good bumper sticker or poster;
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3749188/posts/#40 it reads CELEBRATE PERVERSITY each word is against a rainbow background. I suggest adding VOTE PERVOCRAT when you print it up and place that below the two words.celebrate, perversity
