This might not be about education or parental rights for once… 😄

Most of what we share here tends to be infuriating, heartbreaking, or sometimes even encouraging—but let’s be honest, it’s rarely funny. And given everything going on in the public school system and the constant disregard for parental rights… there’s not exactly a lot to laugh about.

But last night, I stumbled across this on YouTube, and I’m not exaggerating—I laughed for a solid 30 minutes straight.

So, consider this your break for the day. Hit play, enjoy, and laugh a little. We’ve earned it. 😂👇

High School District 128, it’s time to step up and speak out because this is becoming a serious problem for the district, and I won’t let it slide. Parents, if your kids are in District 70 or District 128, please take this seriously—this isn’t the only incident, and I’m sure there will be more. There are plenty of documented cases of parents speaking out at school board meetings only to be ignored or told to leave and not return. This has gone far enough, and I believe we need to focus on exposing more of this. We should share similar content and have people who love our children, Libertyville, and our country run for school board against the current members. If we can gain a majority, we could remove the superintendent, which would be a good start. All these reported problems and incidents must be thoroughly investigated.

WHAT A WIN FOR PARENTS RIGHTS!

Yesterday the House passed H.R. 2616, Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act, incorporates legislation led by Chairman Walberg (PROTECT Kids Act) and Rep. Owens (Say No to Indoctrination Act). The bill:

1. Ensures schools keep parents informed and involved in key decisions affecting their children.

2. Prohibits federal funds from being used to promote radical gender ideology or compel ideological beliefs—codifying President Trump’s executive actions and affirming that there are two s*xes.

3. Requires clear communication with families and establishes consequences for withholding critical information.

4. Puts parents—not bureaucrats—back in charge of their children’s education.”

John Money (1921–2006): A researcher tied to the Kinsey Institute who played a major role in shaping early gender theory and influencing s*x-education frameworks in the United States. He held leadership positions in organizations like SIECUS and the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (SSSS), both of which helped establish the standards still echoed in classrooms today.

But here’s where it gets uncomfortable—and where people suddenly don’t want to look too closely.

Money’s work, especially in the DKinsey Instituted Reimer case, has been widely condemned for the profound psychological harm it caused. That alone should have been enough to force a complete reckoning with his ideas. Instead, many of the philosophies he helped push didn’t disappear—they were repackaged, rebranded, and quietly carried forward.

And yes, some of his publicly documented views on adult-child s*xual dynamics crossed lines that most people today would consider not just wrong, but indefensible. Yet somehow, the broader system built around these “experts” kept moving forward without fully addressing those foundations.

So before anyone rolls their eyes or throws out the usual “that’s just misinformation” line—pause.

Look up the names.Read their own words.Examine the actual cases.Follow the timeline.

Because once you do, the question isn’t “why are parents concerned?”

The real question is: why weren’t we told where this started?

We’re not talking about small disagreements over curriculum. We’re talking about the ideological roots of what’s being presented to children as “normal,” “healthy,” and “scientific.”

If that doesn’t warrant scrutiny, what does?

Exposure to comprehensive s*x ed's tactics essentially "rewires" the minds of children and causes devastating societal impacts.

The Supreme Court ruled that parents have the constitutional right to opt their children out of sensitive classroom instruction.

So why are there school districts still acting like nothing changed?

A lot of folks first heard of me during the COVID years, when I represented hundreds of Illinois families, students, small-business owners, and workers who got steamrolled by the State and didn't have anywhere else to turn. I took my share of attacks for that work — some of it from the most powerful people in this state. None of it changed how I practice.

These days the firm handles the same range of matters as any solid country lawyer: divorce and family law, criminal defense, probate and estate, real estate, business disputes, commercial litigation, workers' comp, and administrative cases.

What's different is how I approach it. Before law school I was an accountant, so the first thing I'll do with your case is tell you what it's really worth, what it's really going to cost, and what the most economical path through it looks like.

A few specifics about how I work:
— You'll talk to me, not a paralegal you've never met.
— First 30 minutes is free, no obligation.
— I don't charge for drive time when a hearing requires me to be in person.
— Most hearings can be handled remotely when the court allows. We use that whenever we can — it keeps your costs down.
— If your case isn't one I should be handling, I'll tell you and point you to someone who can.

At Prairie Middle School (ages 11–14), a classroom display includes messaging centered on LGBTQ+ identity, along with phrases like “acceptance” and “love.”

As a parent, this raises an important question:

When does messaging about identity—especially topics tied to s*xual orientation—cross the line from inclusion into areas that should be handled at home?

Middle school is a critical stage of development. Many parents believe schools should stay focused on academics and avoid introducing or emphasizing topics related to s*xuality, regardless of perspective.

This isn’t about being unkind or excluding anyone.
It’s about age-appropriateness, parental involvement, and where boundaries belong in education.

Parents deserve transparency—and a voice—in what’s presented to their children in the classroom. Phone: (847)304-3990
