CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos visited Waubonsee
Community College. Trump-haters complain that they were not notified.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/aurora-beacon-news/ct-abn-community-reacts-to-devos-visit-waubonsee-st-0918-20190917-pxgdbg4pobhz5krkigewqc4whq-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Waubonsee students who are part of the national group Movimiento Estudiantil
Chicanx de Aztlan — MEChA — said they were disappointed to not have notice of
the visit because they said it silenced them. The group works to spread
awareness of immigrant rights, help connect students who are underrepresented
minorities and help first-generation students navigate higher education, group
leaders said. While touring Jefferson High School in Rockford Monday, dozens of
protestors, many wearing red T-shirts, carried signs and gathered outside the
school to greet DeVos, according to the Rockford Register Star. “Waubonsee
tends to show this image that we have a very diverse student population, but we
had someone from the Trump administration who has attacked our communities
here,” said Giselle Gonzalez, Waubonsee sophomore and president of the MEChA
group at the school. . .“At a place like our college where there is a large
population of Latinx students, that’s something the school should have thought
twice about before letting her come on campus,” Rodriguez said. “It just
doesn’t feel safe to be surprised like that.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On
Wednesday, Tracy, who ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor in the 2010
GOP primary, called the report “baseless speculation” and said that he believes
it was politically motivated. But he declined to say who he thinks was
responsible, other than that he doesn’t believe the governor’s office “had
anything to do with it.” “I’m not going to engage in that myself,” he said.)

https://www.christianheadlines.com/contributors/michael-foust/chick-fil-a-s-sales-have-doubled-since-lgbt-boycott-began-in-2012.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “We
are very much supportive of the family – the biblical definition of the family
unit,” he told the Biblical Recorder. “We are a family-owned business, a
family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks
for that.” Cathy’s comments led to calls for boycotts and pledges by mayors in
Boston and Chicago to oppose new restaurants opening in their cities. That, in
turn, led Mike Huckabee to launch a Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day on Aug. 1,
2012. Hundreds of thousands of customers took part, and the chain broke sales
records for a single day.)
