The Patriot Post® · Education, Not Indoctrination

Chicago’s public schools are a disaster. With a $10 billion annual budget, only 43% of students are proficient in reading and just 27% are proficient in math—and that’s after proficiency standards were lowered! Chicago’s public schools are so bad, the former president of the city’s teachers’ union sent her own son to a private school.
 
The problem isn’t a lack of resources in the Windy City. The problem is that the Left is in total control of the city, including its public schools and teachers.
 
As we noted, Friday was May Day. There was a big battle in Chicago over whether the schools would be open or closed Friday. The teachers’ union wanted the schools closed so teachers and students could provide the bodies for left-wing demonstrations promoting socialism and open borders at anti-police and anti-Trump protests.
 
It was eventually decided that the schools would remain open but students wouldn’t be declared truant for participating in this Marxist freak show.
 
A local NBC News affiliate got a copy of the curriculum the schools used for teaching students about May Day. Teachers were instructed to talk to students “as young as preschool about social justice, transgender rights and protest.”
 
So, little children who can’t even read yet were indoctrinated with socialism and radical transgender ideology.
 
Thankfully, the Trump administration isn’t tolerating this child abuse. The Justice Department announced that it is launching investigations into 36 Illinois school districts for sexual orientation and gender ideology content in their classes.
 
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon said, “This Department of Justice is determined to put an end to local school authorities keeping parents in the dark about how sexuality and gender ideology are being pushed in classrooms.”
 
Never forget that this issue is so important to the Left that the Biden/Harris administration actually threatened to cut off school lunches for poor children if any school district dared to resist the radical LGBTQ agenda.
