Illinoisans pay the nation’s highest property taxes to fund an education system that’s allowing tens of thousands of students to graduate without them being college or career ready. Illinois’ education system needs reform.
And if you care about property taxes, parents’ rights or union powers – and the future of Illinois – you should care about Amendment 1, a referendum on Illinois’ November 2022 ballot.
Covid revealed just how few rights parents have in K-12 education. Amendment 1 would erode parents’ rights even further, especially when it comes to DEI curriculums, the politicization of classrooms and imposing sex ed in Illinois schools.
For example, expanded bargaining rights covering “economic welfare and safety” means teacher unions could negotiate an issue like sexuality education into their contracts with no way for parents or lawmakers to stop it.
Come join Ted Dabrowski and state legislators Dan Caulkins, Brad Halbrook, Chris Miller, Adam Niemerg and Blaine Wilhour as they discuss who is responsible for the failures in Illinois education and how Amendment 1 would further erode parents’ rights in Illinois.
