https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20230117/letter-sheriffs-just-following-the-lead-of-the-governor
(FROM THE LETTER: Congratulations to the county sheriffs that aren’t enforcing the new law taking away our Second Amendment right. Interesting that Gov. Pritzker has no problem not enforcing our immigration law by making Illinois a sanctuary state but he’s upset that the sheriffs aren’t going to uphold this law. All they are doing is following his lead. Once again, a bit of hypocrisy from our governor. It’s also of interest that none of these gun control advocates are using the same arguments when it comes to “assault weapons” such as knives or vehicles. Why aren’t they advocating control and banning of those weapons? How about the abortion tools that are used to assault defenseless babies in the womb? Aren’t they assault weapons?)

— Group calls required racial bias training in Illinois insulting to health care workers – Kevin Bessler (COMMENT: The Democrats who run the federal government a) require federal employees to take lots of bias training and b) use that training to promote hatred against Republicans. I should write a book about the bias training a) that my Democrat IRS superiors required me and my IRS supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates to take 1971-1980 and b) that my Democrat GAO superiors required me and my GAO supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates to take 1980-1997. I would focus on the success that training had in promoting hatred against Republicans like me.)
https://www.cities929.com/2023/01/17/group-calls-required-racial-bias-training-in-illinois-insulting-to-health-care-workers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A requirement for dozens of health-care professions in Illinois to complete bias awareness training as a condition of licensure is being criticized by a medical watchdog group. As of Jan. 1, 2023, individuals in 38 health care professions in Illinois are now required to take racial bias training. The Illinois Administrative Code states that implicit bias occurs automatically and unintentionally, but affects behaviors, judgements and decisions. Laura Morgan, program manager with the organization Do No Harm and a 39-year veteran of the health-care field, said she was fired in 2022 for refusing to submit to training that required her to say she was racist. She said the assumption of implicit bias is that physicians make decisions about patients based on gender or skin color, leading to poor health outcomes. “Things that are related to diversity, equity, and inclusion are based on more divisive ideology than things that really have anything to do with being a good doctor,” Morgan said. She notes that Providence Health and Services system, which operates facilities in several states, has committed $50 million for DEI training “to address health equity.” “It operates on false ideology and contributes to the already burned out and stressed health-care workers that we have out there,” Morgan said. The promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion on college campuses has become a big focus in academia, but a Heritage Foundation study found many of the programs are bloated, and some at significant taxpayer cost. At the University of Illinois alone, there are 71 DEI personnel, which is 4 out of every 100 faculty members. A 2017 study found that diversity initiatives might actually worsen DEI climates of the organizations that pay heavily for them, and warned that mandatory training may result in a negative backlash or exacerbate pre-existing biases.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Two prominent governors—a Democrat from Illinois and a Republican from Georgia—told an audience at Davos that they have been forced to work around Washington gridlock and partisanship to tackle problems facing their states. Democrat J.B. Pritzker, re-elected in Illinois in November, said on a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that Americans often talk about how bipartisanship has stalled but, “What they really mean, in my view, is they want to get things done.” Illinois voters have pushed for tighter gun-control laws, abortion rights and a reduction in the use of fossil fuels, he said. But they have relied on the state government to take action because the federal government hasn’t done enough on various issues, said Mr. Pritzker, 57. – Cameron McWhirter

EDUCATION NEXT
— How Family Background Influences Student Achievement – Anna J. Egalite (COMMENT: Were you viewed as being college material? When I started high school, no one viewed me as being college material. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant. My mother never attended high school. I had a bone disease that stopped me from running. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. Nevertheless, I took college preparatory courses, got grades good enough to get me into the upper 20% of my class, got an ACT score of 24, got accepted by UIC, and I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970 when I was 21 years old.)
