CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— Group warns of ‘non-violent ideological war’ in classrooms Pritzker says critics of CRT are ‘right wing’ – Greg Bishop (DIERSEN: Who is leading the fight against CRT in your school district? It would be great if the Illinois Republican Party would publish on its website a list of those who are leading the fight against CRT in each of the 102 counties.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A group in Illinois is looking for chapters across the state to help keep tabs on teaching plans they say are dividing children. A parent in Naperville, Shannon Adcock, said she became aware of “culturally responsive teaching” when she was unsuccessful in running for the school board. She said the more she learned about it, the more she felt it was regressive and divisive by teaching children race or gender directly impacts outcomes. “You are having students segregated by their color, by their sexuality, by their any number of filters that an activist teacher can choose and say ‘so because of your skin color you are a problem, because of your skin color you will never make it in life, because of this intangible systemic problem in one of the greatest countries in the world,’ and to me, it’s to me extremely anti-Americanism, it’s anti-child and I believe it to be child abuse,” Adcock told WMAY. “Teach history, there’s no question about that, but when you begin filtering students, this becomes a problem and it’s a violation, a constitutional violation.” She said the curriculum can take many different names and forms, so she and others seeing similar trends in other parts of the state started the website AwakeIL.com as a way to share information with taxpayers, parents and educators about trends around the state. “We are going to preserve the integrity of our constitution, state and federal, and we’re going to take that divisive curricula and segregationist approach to education out of our classrooms,” she said.)

June 3 Evening Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— CALL FOR ACTION: Please email the following ASAP and urge them to let DuPage County Republicans help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade: Wheaton Mayor Philip Suess at psuess@wheaton.il.us and Councilman East District Michael Barbier at mbarbier@wheaton.il.us and Councilman North District Scott Brown at sbrown@wheaton.il.us and Councilwoman At-Large Erica Bray-Parker at ebrayparker@wheaton.il.us and Councilwoman At-Large Suzanne Fitch at sfitch@wheaton.il.us  and Councilwoman West District Lynn Robbins at lrobbins@wheaton.il.us and Councilman South District Scott Weller at sweller@wheaton.il.us  and Wheaton Park District President Bob Frey and Vice President John Kelly and Commissioners John Kelly and William Barrett and Kevin Fahey and Terry Mee and Ray Morrill and John Vires at commissioners@wheatonparks.org .
http://www.gopillinois.com

(BACKGROUND: Wheaton’s Independence Day Parades have always been very important. DuPage County has more residents than six states and Wheaton is its County Seat. Bob Dole walked in the parade in 1996. The Obamas walked in the parade in 2004. Many U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, Illinois statewide officials, Illinois Senators, Illinois Representatives, DuPage countywide officials, DuPage County District officials, judges, and justices have walked in the parades.

Since 2005, DuPage Republicans have helped sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day Parades. For many years, DuPage Republicans have been the parade’s top sponsor by contributing $2,500 with $1,200 earmarked for the combined Wheaton North and Wheaton-Warrenville South Bands and $1,000 earmarked for bagpipers. I have had the honor of raising those contributions from Republican candidates, Republican elected officials, and Republican party leaders. In 2007, I raised an additional $2,000 from Republicans for an elephant to walk behind Peter Roskam in the parade. But today, Wheaton Park District Superintendent of Marketing & Special Events Amy Seklecki advised me by phone that for this year’s parade, parade sponsorships will not be allowed. I told her that I would appeal that decision. For many years, Wheaton has given the Wheaton Park District $30,000 a year with $20,000 earmarked for fireworks and $10,000 earmarked for parade entries.

I certainly hope that the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization are encouraging all the candidates who will be on 2022 Republican primary ballots in DuPage County, Milton Township, and especially Wheaton a) to have an entry in Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and b) help sponsor the parade. This is especially true for Republican candidates for U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, Illinois statewide offices, Illinois Senator, Illinois Representative, DuPage countywide offices, DuPage district offices, and judicial races.

Republican entries in Wheaton’s outstanding 2019 Independence Day Parade were Bob Berlin, Amy Grant, Chris Kachiroubas, Evelyn Sanguinetti, Ann Celine Walsh, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee. Those who walked with the entries included Almiron, Anderson, Carlson, Caruso, Colgan, Collins, Falbo, Fisher, Furstenau, Ives, Keller, LeVan, Marquardt, Marshall, Monino, Muehlfelt, Nathwani, Ruhl, Ryan, Saake, Shaw, and Whelan. With their $2,500 contribution, “DuPage County Republicans” were again the top sponsor for the parade and fireworks. Contributions were: $500 from Roger Claar; $250 each from Berlin, Sanguinetti, Phil Suess, and Tim Whelan; and $100 each from Michael Barbier, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elliott, Grant, Chris Heidorn, Babette Holder, Jeanne Ives, Marty Keller, Bob Larsen, and Walsh. I hand-delivering 500 flyers (printed courtesy of Alpha Graphics) to the residences and businesses on the parade route that included the Republican entries in the parade, the sponsor’s names, and the amounts they contributed.

Information on the parade and fireworks is at https://wheatonparkdistrict.com/events/july4/

Again, please email the aforesaid Wheaton and Wheaton Park District officials ASAP and urge them to let DuPage County Republicans help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Slavery was part of the daily culture of the tribal nations,” said Moore’s statement, “with the (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Creek, Choctaw and Seminole tribes) entering into treaties with the Confederate States of America to ensure slavery continued.” Paul Chaat Smith, a Comanche and the associate curator of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, said in a 2018 speech that these five tribes “were deeply committed to slavery, established their own racialized Black codes, immediately reestablished slavery when they arrived in Indian territory, rebuilt their nations with slave labor, crushed slave rebellions and enthusiastically sided with the Confederacy in the Civil War.” Smith referred to this truth as the “mangy, snarling dog standing between you and a crowd-pleasing narrative,” according to coverage of his speech in Smithsonian magazine. “Indians bought, sold, owned and exploited black people’s labor and reproduction for economic and social gain,” wrote University of Massachusetts at Amherst historian Barbara Krauthamer in her book “Black Slaves, Indian Masters.” “Because the Indian nations existed as autonomous political entities, Union victory did not automatically liberate black people from bondage,” Krauthamer wrote. “Only in the course of negotiating a new treaty with the United States during the spring of 1866 did Choctaw and Chickasaw leaders grudgingly consent to acknowledge slavery’s demise.”)

Trump’s critics/opponents reject many, most, if not virtually all of the planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks.)

— Time to pass news literacy bill – Editorial (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrat teachers promote the Democrat Party platform, that is, ever-increasingly, they make their students anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage/family, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Ever-increasingly, the mainstream news media acts as an arm of the Democrat Party. Most commonly, it promotes dependency on government, dependency on charity, BLM, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20210522/editorial-time-to-pass-news-literacy-bill
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An informed citizenry is the heart of a democracy. Without it, we the people — as the architects of our government — are subject to manipulation, unsound decisions, poor choices. News literacy matters. And particularly in this era of rumor, social media lies and falsehoods, algorithmic digital marketing, Orwellian politics and yes, news media bias, it has become central. . .Yes, news literacy matters, as we have said in this space in the past. So we’re disappointed that legislation in Springfield to require a news literacy curriculum in our schools has become another partisan issue. We do not understand that. We do not understand why Republicans would oppose citizenship education. Our schools are meant to prepare our kids for the adult world. In a democracy, what preparation is more important?)

ILLINOIS LEAKS
— Judge Orders County-Wide Vote Recount In DuPage County – JOHN KRAFT & KIRK ALLEN (DIERSEN: Bob Grogan is losing by only 75 votes for DuPage County Auditor. If just 38 of the 522 registered voters in my precinct had voted for Grogan instead of White, Grogan would be wining. 38 in my precinct might very well have taken my advice as their Republican Precinct Committeeman to vote for Grogan instead of White if for the last 21 years, Democrat plants, Libertarian Plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, etc. had not focused on discrediting me as being “too conservative” and even worse things.)
https://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/2021/05/judge-orders-county-wide-vote-recount-in-dupage-county/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a May 12, 2021 Memorandum and Order, DuPage County Judge Craig R. Belford ordered a county-wide recount of the November 3, 2020, election results for the office of DuPage County Auditor. Petitioner Bob Grogan (R), Candidate for DuPage County Auditor, and Respondent Bill White (D), Candidate for DuPage County Auditor, are named in the complaint. The election was certified as White winning the election with a 75 vote margin of victory, with 491,067 votes cast. Grogan then exercised his right to examine for irregularities in a specified sampling of precincts. As a result of the examination at a particular polling place (containing three precincts) in Downers Grove Township, none of the ballots that were cast were initialed by an election judge, which is required by the Illinois Election Code. Grogan argued that the result of this, if the uninitialed ballots are declared invalid and not counted, Grogan would net 82 votes, which would exceed the 75 vote margin of victory of White. Based on this examination, Grogan asked for a county-wide recount. From the Order: “In construing the above provisions, the Illinois Supreme Court has been both explicit and resolute for more than a century: ” ‘statutes requiring election judges to initial ballots are mandatory, and *** uninitialed ballots may not be counted.’ ” “petitioner’s motion for a full recount us GRANTED, and this court hereby orders that a county-wide recount of the November 3, 2020, election for the office of DuPage County Auditor be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Agree Recount Order. . . During such recount . . . any in-precinct ballot that is not initialed shall be deemed defective and not counted.”)
