Illinois school district teaches gender and race propaganda to all lower grades

The slow and steady infiltration of equity based teaching into public school education continues despite the very public pushback from parents across the political spectrum. LGBTQ+ and Black Lives Matter propaganda are becoming so integrated into curriculum as to be indistinguishable from basic mathematics, English language arts, science, and social studies programs. The Democratic stronghold of Evanston, Ill., has gone farther, faster, than has been required by law. Three months of the year are slated to be taken up with the study of identity based oppression lessons.

In 2019, Governor JB Pritzker signed a law requiring Illinois school districts to integrate LGBTQ+ history into curricula by July 2020. In October 2019, Evanston's school district 65 held its first LGBTQ+ Equity Week for grades pre-kindergarten through 8, and their plans for these lessons are expanding in scope.

District 65 has plans for many equity weeks and lessons throughout the year. Latinx Heritage Month in September, which teaches 8th grader students about the harmful effects of immigration laws and delves into the dynamics of power and privilege. Black Lives Matter at school brings with it a "week of action" and "national demands," which teaches 4th graders the song "Brown Skin Girl" by Beyonce, along with the lesson that American society is "patriarchal," where "systems and government are controlled by men." The lesson states as fact that American "systems and government are controlled by [w]hite people," with "racism being the result of it."
