https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/621526862-2-more-wheaton-teachers-pledge-to-teach-critical-race-theory-in-february-despite-controversy
— At Wheaton’s Edison Middle School, black eighth-graders to lecture whites on ‘black hair culture,’ ‘importance of Black History Month’ (COMMENT: This school is in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9. Per Breakthrough Ideas: “The Edison Middle School Principal should be focusing on academics instead of these types of presentations. Only 42 percent of the students perform at grade level in English Language Arts and only 33 percent perform at grade level in Math. Black student achievement is one-third White student achievement according to 2019 data. No racial breakout of data is available for 2021 at the ISBE Report Card, NOTE: Prior to COVID, 57 and 45 percent of students were at grade level in ELA and Math respectively – those are NOT statistics to brag about either.”)
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/621598562-at-wheaton-s-edison-school-black-eighth-graders-to-lecture-whites-on-black-hair-culture-importance-of-black-history-month
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A black-only student group at Wheaton’s Edison School has been conducting lectures for white students this week, instructing them on what words it is appropriate to use around blacks, why it is important that whites find Black History Month important and the particulars of “black hair culture.” An email to parents and students obtained by DuPage Policy Journal outlined the details of Edison’s school-sponsored “Panthers in Black” lecture series. “There are different endings such as ‘-er’ and ‘-a’ which have two different meanings,” one slide from the presentation reads. The presentation goes on to dictate how the word should be approached. “When it is used between African Americans, the definition of the word changes and is commonly used as a term of endearment such as “friend” or “buddy”. ONLY African Americans can use it in this context, not other races,” another slide reads. The Panthers in Black Club is closed to non-black students. “If there are any African American students who would like to join Panthers In Black (PIB), please contact your school counselor. PIB works towards raising awareness about Black history, culture, and racial injustice,” the slideshow reads at the end. The lecture took place without parent notice. The lecturer was delivered to sixth-graders on Monday, March 7, seventh-graders on Tuesday, March 8, and to the eighth grade on Wednesday, March 9. The series was announced by the school via email. “This week, a group of students from our Panthers in Black group is presenting a short slideshow during part of the ELA block. The presentation is called POV from PIB (Point of View from Panthers in Black). The presenters are 8th grade students who are Black and want to help their non-black peers learn how to avoid saying some of the offensive and hurtful things they have heard in our school,” the school said in an email. “Some of the topics include the history and importance of Black History Month, the history of the n-word and the importance of never saying it, Black hair culture and the importance of not touching people’s hair and more. “We truly want our school to be a place where all students feel seen, accepted, respected, and valued. We are so proud of these girls for having the courage to share these important lessons with their peers in the hopes of creating a more welcoming and inclusive environment in our school.” Edison School is part of CUSD 200 and has 664 students in 2021, 464 whites, 59 Hispanics, 53 Asians and 42 blacks, according to the Illinois State Board of Education.)

All five announced Republican U.S. Senate candidates (Cox, Kathuria, McKenna, Oberweis, and Ryan) attended that picnic. The 200+ attendees included Randy Hultgren.)

DUPAGE COUNTY ELECTION DIVISION
— Precinct Committeeperson (COMMENT: I should write a book about serving as a Republican Precinct Committeeman. I was appointed in Milton Township in 1999, elected in 2000, and reelected every 2 years since. I served as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010. I unsuccessfully ran for the open MTRO Treasurer office in 2004. Since 1999, I have MTRO’s best meeting attendance record.)
https://www.dupageco.org/Election/Candidates_and_Campaigns/48691/
(FROM THE POSTING: The grass roots and foundation of the political parties are its precinct committeepersons. They serve as the foot soldiers to the most fundamental political unit of government, the precinct. The precinct committeeperson helps shape party policy and participates in the selection process of candidates. A precinct committeeperson is elected to a two-year term in the even-year primary elections. Expectations of a precinct committeeperson: Represent the party’s voters at the county central committee convention to elect the county central chairman and its officers. The precinct committeeman casts a total number of party votes, (weighted vote), as cast in the precinct at the recent primary election. Attend and become involved in the party’s Township meetings. Become a voter registrar and register all qualified constituents. Appoint and fill vacancies of election judges for the precinct polling place. Provide candidate and election information to the voters. Circulate petitions for candidates prior to the primary election. Become familiar with the elected officials and legislatures so the concerns of the voters can be passed on to them)

ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— School-Approved Racism in Western Suburb of Chicago (Wheaton) – Laurie Higgins (COMMENT: This school is in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9. Per Breakthrough Ideas: “The Edison Middle School Principal should be focusing on academics instead of these types of presentations. Only 42 percent of the students perform at grade level in English Language Arts and only 33 percent perform at grade level in Math. Black student achievement is one-third White student achievement according to 2019 data. No racial breakout of data is available for 2021 at the ISBE Report Card, NOTE: Prior to COVID, 57 and 45 percent of students were at grade level in ELA and Math respectively – those are NOT statistics to brag about either.”)
https://illinoisfamily.org/education/school-approved-racism-in-western-suburb-of-chicago/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It appears the racism identified as “anti-racism” and being endorsed all across America is bearing rotten fruit at ever younger ages and in ever more perverse ways. Just last week, administrators at Edison Middle School in Wheaton, Illinois allowed student members of the blacks-only “Panthers in Black” school club to lecture peers on the intricacies of using various forms of the “n”-word. Students learned who is permitted to use the “n”-word and which “n”-word suffix is appropriate in what context. Parents of students forced to listen to this non-voluntary lecture were not notified ahead of time or asked to sign a permission slip. Eighteen slides were included in the lecture addressing topics like the importance of Black History Month. This slide was notable for its vagueness. The Panthers in Black advocate for “recognizing” and “promoting” appreciation of African American “achievement, culture, heritage, sacrifices, and accomplishments, including past and current events.” Several things are unclear.)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Despite what most Democrats say, the US is worth fighting for (COMMENT: Which countries do Democrats want to invade and to conquer the United States? They would be countries that promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendment, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They would be countries that would get rid of those who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— First Amendment Scholars Want to See the Media Lose These Cases. Some legal experts say it is time to draw a sharp line between protected speech and harmful disinformation. – Jeremy Peters (COMMENT: Since 2000, my critics/opponents have accused me of promoting false claims and harmful disinformation with my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I should sue my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who have done the most a) to stop me from sending out the newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading the newsletters. I would focus on those who a) stopped me from raising funds from DuPage County Republicans so that DuPage County Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks, b) gerrymandered my precinct in 2015, c) ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, d) ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership in 2011, e) ended my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, f) ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, g) tried to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, h) ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership in 2004, and i) viciously ended my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/13/business/media/fox-news-first-amendment-sullivan.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The suits, which are being argued in several state and federal courts, accuse Project Veritas, Fox News, The Gateway Pundit, One America News and others of intentionally promoting and profiting from false claims of voter fraud during the 2020 election, and of smearing innocent civil servants and businesses in the process. If the outlets prevail, these experts say, the results will call into question more than a half-century of precedent that created a clear legal framework for establishing when news organizations can be held liable for publishing something that’s not true.)

WASHINGTON POST
— If You Already Hate Your New Job, It’s Fine to Quit – Kathryn Minshew (COMMENT: I never hated my jobs, but my Democrat superiors wanted me to. I should write a book about adverse actions that my Democrat superiors in the federal government took against me and how I responded. After my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, my attorney Walter T. Charlton filed a lawsuit against them in 1998. After they made it clear that they would never again assign me to audits of IRS and assigned me to audits of federal financial industry regulators in 1990, a) I started taking graduate finance courses at IIT in 1992 and earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997 and b) I became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, and Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990. After they a) gave me an unfair performance appraisal in 1989, b) made it clear that they were going to get rid of me that year, c) got rid of my mentor in 1987 who had hired me, gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me in 1986, and d) made it clear that GAO would never promote me again, I filed a grievance and sought help from Henry Hyde. After they forced me to take a $20,901 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, I a) became a licensed CPA in 1981, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and c) completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. After my Democrat IRS superiors a) made it clear that IRS would never promote me again, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, c) got rid of my mentor in 1975 who had promoted me in 1974, 1972, and 1972, and d) disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, started taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul in 1976, and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. After my Democrat Firestone Stores boss made it clear that he disapproved of my demographics, I accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. After my Democrat Post Office superiors a) forced me to resign in 1969 and b) disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Perhaps you have read the book “1984” by George Orwell and published in 1949. In the totalitarian superstate Oceania, the government purposely breaks up families in order for the government to keep its power. The family structure needs to be non-existent so that the people cannot unite or feel loved. Here’s another interesting quote: “The planned destruction of the family was part of the communist agenda from its inception by Karl Marx and Frederic Engels. It became government policy in the USSR in about 1917. It was so successful in the USSR that it threatened to destroy society in the USSR. Curiously, while in the 1940s the USSR took steps to repair the damages its family-hostile policies had caused, American communists imported the Soviet agenda for the planned destruction of the family into the USA.” (Statement of Bill Wood, July 17, 2003, before the U.S. Congress Committee on Ways and Means)

I base my opinions on what I learned a) working for the federal government for almost 30 years -- Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997, serving on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter 1983-1996, and being a union member while I worked for the Post Office and IRS; b) earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, a masters degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and a masters degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997; c) passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981; c) serving as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999, the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois Chairman 2005-2012, a member of the 2008 Illinois Republican Party (IRP) Platform and Resolutions Committee, a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004; d) attending the 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016 IRP State Conventions as a delegate; e) being the subject of a nasty 4-page article in the February 1978 issue of Money Magazine; f) pursing litigation including Diersen v.
