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.)

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.)

— 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 delivered lots of his campaign literature in my precinct. I invited him to speak at TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Illinois Center Right Coalition events. Duckworth had her thugs throw me out her rally with Michael J. Fox in the Arrowhead Golf Club in Wheaton in 2006. I raised $2,000 for an elephant to walk behind him in Wheaton’s 2007 Independence Day parade. However, sadly, I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have blamed me the most and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for Roskam’s problems. I have been the Illinois reporter for www.gopusa.com since 2000. My critics/opponents did not want me to attend Henry Hyde’s press conference in 2005 ( https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2005-08-05-0508050305-story.html ) when he endorsed Roskam. But when I attended anyway, they warned me to not ask any questions. Since 2005, my critics/opponents have demonized me, denigrated, me, and condemned me as being just like Jeff Gannon and even worse things. Since 2005, they have viciously used against me what happened with GOPUSA, Talon News, and White House Correspondent Jeff Gannon. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talon_News Since 2005, they have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I ask bad questions at press conferences and share privileged information with reporters that have caused Republican candidates to be defeated and even worse things. Needless-to-say, I should sue my critics/opponents.)

NEW AMERICAN
— Concordia University Wisconsin, a university of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod has immediately suspended and banned from its campus Reverend Dr. Gregory Schulz, a philosophy professor, for writing an article criticizing the school’s descent into “Woke-ness.” – Federalist (COMMENT: The Missouri Synod emerged from several communities of German Lutheran immigrants during the 1830s and 1840s. It was organized in 1847 at a meeting in Chicago. My ancestors worked in a brick factory in Chicago at that time. I was baptized as a Missouri Lutheran (MSL) in 1948, raised as a MSL, and confirmed as a MSL in 1962. My outstanding parents sent me to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then to Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod. I should write a book about those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned MSLs the most as being “too conservative.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Kane County Board Chairman Chris Lauzen was among the first to file at the county clerk’s office Monday as he turned in paperwork to run for county treasurer. Democrat Jeffrey Pripusich also filed for treasurer. Lauzen, who served as county board chairman for eight years, said he wanted to be a “spending watchdog” for the county’s money. He pointed to several county expenditures he considered wasteful, including employing a lobbyist and the recent hiring of a public information officer. “If somebody is not satisfied with what’s going on in any level of government, rather than complain about it, do something about it,” said Lauzen, an accountant who also served in the Illinois Senate for 20 years.)

DAILY HERALD
— Top Kane County GOP official calls election precinct redraw ‘a farce’ – James Fuller (COMMENT: What have the following told your Republican Precinct Committeeman about the redraw: a) the chairman of your Republican township party organization, b) the chairman of your Republican county party organization, c) your representative on the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee, and d) the IRP chairman?)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20220107/top-kane-county-gop-official-calls-election-precinct-redraw-a-farce
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A behind-the-scenes process of redrawing election precincts in Kane County sparked concerns Friday about election integrity and what will be one of the shortest primary election campaign seasons in recent history. Recent state legislation approved in the wake of the decennial redistricting effort requires counties to redraw election precinct boundary lines by Jan. 15. The changes will affect every race on the 2022 ballot. New rules require precincts to sit within a single congressional and state legislative district whenever possible as well as a single county board district and municipal ward. Many counties regularly split or merge precincts to avoid them becoming too large or small for Democrat and Republican Party committeemen to properly represent constituents on partisan matters. Party committeemen are the foot soldiers of local political parties. The influence of those roles carries particular intrigue for local Republicans who are loyal to former President Donald Trump and continue to support the debunked claims of fraud in the 2020 election. The 2022 elections bring an opportunity for Trump loyalists to take control of the local party. Which voters live in which precincts will be a factor in that GOP battle. Kane County hasn’t adjusted its 291 precincts in nearly 20 years. That’s created 28 precincts that contain far more registered voters than the 1,200-voter cap target suggested by state legislation. Multiple precincts contain fewer than the 500 registered voters state law suggests is too small for a stand-alone precinct. A self-appointed team of workers in the county clerk’s office, information technology department, graphics information system staff, lawyers in the state’s attorney’s office and the chairman of the county board’s public service committee have spent the past several weeks redrawing the precinct boundaries. Kane County Board Chair Corinne Pierog has also been involved. She serves as vice chair of the Kane County Democrats. Except for Kane County Clerk Jack Cunningham, who is a Republican, all the elected officials involved so far are Democrats. The public will get a look at the redrawn precincts on Tuesday. There will be a final vote on the remap Friday, one day before the state deadline. That’s not enough review or involvement in the process for several GOP members of the county board. “It’s a farce to suggest this committee has had any role or involvement in this at all,” said Ken Shepro, a county board member and chairman of the Kane County Republican Party. “No member of this committee has been asked to participate in any of these meetings or give any guidance.” Fellow Republican Tom Koppie said the process and the tight deadlines mean the county board will be “forced to accept maps generated by the bureaucracy.” “I do not believe this is what the voting public anticipated or expects,” Koppie said. Anita Lewis, a Democrat on the board who tends to side with Republicans, questioned the process. “And I’m not going to be able to say beyond a shadow of a doubt that everything was done right,” Lewis said. “I just don’t have that comfort level.” Even if the county board approves the new precinct boundaries next Friday, the county staff said it may take up until the first week of February to have maps paired with voter rolls that will allow candidates to collect accurate petition signatures. Petition filing for candidates seeking the top ballot spots is March 7. Candidates normally have 90 days to circulate petitions. Both county board members and the clerk’s office staff said they expect more petition challenges to kick candidates off the ballot because of the tight window and an increased likelihood of signatures from people who find themselves in different precincts.)

— ‘Minority privilege’ now more common amid the growing ‘war on whiteness’ – Rav Arora (COMMENT: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors replaced me with my Black subordinate. In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. How soon, if not already, will your employer if you are still employed, the organizations that you are a member of, the governments that you are under, etc. officially announce that they getting rid of Whites once and for all, except those Whites who help them get rid of Whites? Of course, the first Whites to be gotten rid of are Whites who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, 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. I should write a book about Whites who get rid of other Whites. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)
https://nypost.com/2022/01/08/minority-privilege-is-now-more-common-than-white-privilege/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The left is furious about “white privilege.” And while it’s true white people have benefited from major advantages over time, it’s a concept that is rapidly fading — especially now, as the reverse is coming true. Minorities are increasingly becoming privileged while growing numbers of white people face discrimination. Diversity initiatives have been around for years, but over the past year and a half, innumerable companies and corporations have ramped up their efforts with the goal of “diversifying” their workforce. Tech giant Facebook, for example, has committed to half of its employees coming from “underrepresented communities” (i.e., black, Native American, and Hispanic) by 2023. Best Buy is hiring one person of color for every three new hires over the next five years. United Airlines has promised that at least half of the pilots they will train in the next decade will be women and “people of color” (currently, only 13 percent of pilots are people of color). In May, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot suddenly declared she will only give interviews to “journalists of color” — something that would be an impeachable offense if the situation was reversed (only giving interviews to “white journalists”). The push to promote people of color has become so pervasive that the most objective scientific institutions have seemingly become captive to woke ideology. For example, the NIH and CDC use taxpayer dollars to incentivize biomedical research labs to hire ethnic minorities because “research shows that diverse teams working together and capitalizing on innovative ideas and distinct perspectives outperform homogenous teams” — without quoting or citing any actual research. Minorities are now even advantaged when seeking medical treatment. Last week, the New York City and state departments of health authorized life-saving antiviral treatment for COVID-19 for everyone belonging to a “non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity” regardless of risk factors, but for whites, only those with risk factors are allowed it. The DOH cites its rationale as: “longstanding systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19.” Meanwhile, the rise of minority advantage has come with a parallel war on whiteness, especially in academia. In June, the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association — “one of the world’s most respected publications in psychoanalysis” — printed a peer-reviewed paper entitled “On Having Whiteness.” The abstract of the paper describes “whiteness” as a “malignant, parasitic-like condition” requiring “effective treatment consist[ing] of a combination of psychic and social-historical interventions.” It adds, “there is not yet a permanent cure.” There are real, accredited university courses that instruct anti-white racism: “Race Theory & the Problem of Whiteness” (Arizona State University) and “Abolition of Whiteness” (Hunter College). Institutionalized anti-white bigotry has escalated to genocidal rhetoric. As Bari Weiss revealed in her recent Substack piece, Yale University hosted a lecture by Dr. Aruna Khilanani this year about the “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind,” where the speaker revealed her fantasies to kill white people. Other than university administrators later saying the lecture was found to have “tone and content antithetical to the values of the school,” the backlash was tempered. While social media erupted and Khilanani’s Manhattan-based practice is now closed for unknown reasons, she still has her license. One can only imagine the riotous demonstrations that would have reverberated across the country had Yale hosted a talk about “The Psychopathic Problem of the Black Mind.” The upshot is that pro-minority bias is not only permitted but socially incentivized. Employers, professors and administrators are lauded for implementing radical diversity initiatives. As minorities are preferentially hired across the board and given a host of other benefits by way of their genetic lottery, we must fundamentally reframe our discourse surrounding race relations. While “white privilege” may still exist in some margins of society, it no longer reflects the progressive era we live in.)

— Army Officer Relieved of Command, Facing Discharge over Racist Social Media Posts – Steve Beynon and Konstantin Toropin (COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government; they get rid of federal employees who are Republican, and especially those who are conservative, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/01/07/army-officer-relieved-of-command-facing-discharge-over-racist-social-media-posts.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While Spillane’s lawyer, Sean Timmons, managing partner with Tully Rinckey’s Houston office, agrees his client’s posts are indeed offensive, the discharge status raises the stakes — any status that isn’t honorable can have dire consequences for a veteran. So-called “bad paper” discharges can exclude a veteran from benefits, mostly the GI Bill; hurt employment opportunities; and overall leave the veteran with a stigma that’s difficult to shake off. Because of that, Timmons wants the Army to allow Spillane to leave with an honorable discharge.)

— AUGUST 4, 1997 FLASHBACK: DEPRESSION-ERA PROJECT HAUNTS CONSOLIDATION EFFORT – Bob Merrifield (COMMENT: When our mother died in 2016, my brother and I inherited her 40-by-100 foot lot near the Lincolnshire Country Club in Crete.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1997-08-04-9708040150-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Walt Williams, president of the Lincolnshire Country Club, sees the subdivision that never was as a historical relic. “At the time, a four-golf-course complex was planned,” Williams said. “Three of the four got built. Two are still in existence. “They were trying to make it into a resort community. I believe the Depression ended all that.” Esther Diersen of Crete, who owns one of the 40-foot lots, said she believes most owners have held on to the land for sentimental reasons or because it may eventually increase in value. Her lot was bought in the 1920s by an aunt of her late husband. “When Lincolnshire Country Club first started, everyone bought a small lot like that. For some reason I kept thinking it might be something the kids could realize something from. That’s the only reason I still have it.”)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20220105/it-has-no-place-how-a-mundelein-area-woman-is-deleting-a-painful-relic-of-race-and-housing
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For 40 years beginning in the late 1920s, it was not uncommon for restrictive covenant clauses to prohibit the sale or lease of property to certain racial or ethnic groups. That practice became illegal and unenforceable with the passage of the federal Housing Rights Act in 1968. But the offensive language has remained. Many property owners are unaware of such references in covenants associated with their property. And those who are have found it difficult to have them deleted.)

— 84% of Voters: Public Schools Should Teach Truth About Slavery – Scott Rasmussen (COMMENT: According to this article, “42% believe the schools should teach that America was founded on racism, slavery, and white supremacy.” What percent of your school board members agree that schools should teach that “America was founded on racism, slavery, and white supremacy?” What are the following doing to fight CRT, 1619, reparations, BLM, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination: a) Republican members of your school board, b) the leaders your Republican township/ward/county party organizations, c) your representative on the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee, d) the IRP leaders, e) Republican leaders of your chamber of commerce, park district, municipality, township, and county, f) your Republican state representative and state senator, g) etc.?)
https://www.newsmax.com/scottrasmussen/public-schools-slavery-founding/2022/01/06/id/1051337/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Eighty-four percent (84%) of voters believe public schools should teach the truth about slavery. At the same time, a Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 81% believe public schools should teach that America was founded on the ideals of freedom, equality, and self-governance. Combining the results shows that 72% of voters believe both should be taught. Another question found that 42% believe the schools should teach that America was founded on racism, slavery, and white supremacy. Forty-four percent (44%) disagree. Overall, 40% believe students should be taught that America was founded on noble ideals, but not that the nation was founded on racism. Thirty percent (30%) believe both should be taught. Eleven percent (11%) say that the noble ideals should be taught and are not sure about racism. Nine percent (9%) believe schools should teach that the nation was founded on racism but not that it was founded upon noble ideals. Finally, 64% believe that schools should teach that America is a force for good in the world. Fifteen percent (15%) disagree and 21% are not sure. Seventy-nine percent (79%) of those who support Trump-like policies believe that students should be taught that America is a force for good. So do 73% of traditional Democrats and 70% of traditional Republicans. However, among those who support policies like those of Senator Bernie Sanders, just 42% think students should learn that America is a force for good. Thirty percent (30%) of Sanders’ supporters say that positive message should not be taught while 28% are not sure. Given a choice between four presidential candidates with equal skills and temperament, 31% would prefer a Republican who supported policies like those of President Trump. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 20% would prefer a Democrat who supported policies similar to Senator Bernie Sanders, 19% favor a more traditional Democrat, and 17% a more traditional Republican.)

They demonize, denigrate, and condemn what I have done since as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000 and as a Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999 and what I did raising funds from DuPage County Republicans so that they could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, and my serving as a) the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, b) a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, c) the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010, d) an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, and e) an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2000-2004.)
