Action Alert: Abortion Advocates Are Attempting to Indoctrinate Our Children With this ISBE Rule

The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) has proposed a rule called the Culturally Responsive Teaching and Leading Standards for public school educators that would, in effect, require teachers to affirm, embrace, and encourage inclusive (or progressive) student viewpoints to receive and maintain their teaching licenses. Of course, “Progressive” or “inclusive” viewpoints really mean pro-abortion viewpoints!

Should this rule go into effect, pro-life teachers will be forced to embrace and encourage students’ pro-abortion viewpoints against the teachers’ religious beliefs and/or rights of conscience or lose their teaching positions.

Our lobbyists, Ralph Rivera and Molly Rumley, have taken the lead from the beginning in fighting this proposed rule.

But now, they need your help!

The ISBE proposed rule will come before a special legislative committee called the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) at its meeting on February 16th. This committee, made up of 12 state senators and state representatives, has the authority to suspend this proposed rule if they have at least 8 votes to suspend it.

We are urging you to contact all 12 of the JCAR members.

In particular though, the two co-chairmen–State Senator Bill Cunningham (D) and State Representative Keith Wheeler (R)–would appreciate hearing from you first.

Respectfully ask them to vote to suspend the ISBE proposed rule.

This is yet another one of Governor Pritzker’s initiatives, and it would be damaging to teachers and students across our state. The ongoing attempt to remove pro-life teachers who will not bend to the progressives’ will must end now.

Please add your voice to the growing number of Illinoisans opposed to this dangerous and discriminatory rule. Together, we can ensure that pro-life teachers are protected in their schools.
