— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Parents ask Glen Ellyn officials to push protesting anti-maskers away from elementary school – Madhu Krishnamurthy
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20210914/parents-ask-glen-ellyn-officials-to-push-protesting-anti-maskers-away-from-elementary-school
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Republican state Rep. Jeanne Ives of Wheaton, who has been promoting school protests against mask use in her emailed newsletter, said it’s the Glen Ellyn parents who have been hurling insults at the protesters. . .Ives said she’s not involved with organizing the Glen Ellyn protest and hasn’t been attending daily. In her Sept. 12 newsletter, she asks readers to “join the dedicated group of parents who are standing up for parental rights in Glen Ellyn” and gives the time and address for the demonstrations. Masks in schools have been required by the state of Illinois since Aug. 4. Ives said there has been “misinformation” spread about the protesters. “There is video evidence of the other side literally dropping swear words left and right,” she said. “Those guys are unhinged.”)

Through Ready to Govern, current appointees can participate in up to 11 modules featuring proven content developed from hundreds of conversations with federal leaders.

— Not a California man: GOP gov hopeful documents Illinois residency — says claim of firm’s West Coast HQ was ‘marketing’ While voting records do show Sullivan has lived — and voted in — downstate Menard County for at least the last five years, the main location of his business is murkier. Social media accounts and the company’s own website list Alter Global as being headquartered in San Francisco or the Silicon Valley. But Sullivan and a spokesman for his campaign said that is primarily for “marketing [and] branding purposes.” – Rachel Hinton

(COMMENT: Where did the money come from to pay for your college expenses? I worked all the hours that I could for the Park Forest Post Office part-time during the school years and full-time during the summers 1966-1969. Further, my outstanding parents provided me with room and board in their home in Crete a) while I took courses at UIC 1966-1968, b) weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and c) the summer of 1969. That enabled me to graduate from NIU in 1970 debt-free and owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE.)

Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when I was 21 years old. My mother never attended high school.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/gavin-newsom-white-privilege-larry-elder-racism-inequality-california-recall-election-11631566580
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If the polls going into Tuesday’s recall election in California hold up, Gavin Newsom will keep his job as governor. But if he does, no one should ever again take seriously progressive complaints about white privilege. Because if white privilege is a thing, Mr. Newsom is drenched in it. Mr. Newsom’s father was a well-connected state judge who once managed one of the trusts for the family of oil magnate J. Paul Getty. As for his son, the Los Angeles Times says that “a coterie of San Francisco’s wealthiest families has backed him at every step of his rise.” This privilege is reflected in the $70 million Mr. Newsom raised to fight the recall—more than five times the $13 million raised by his leading challenger, Republican Larry Elder.)
