The average citizen in Illinois is seldom aware of how their youth are being brainwashed away from traditional American values toward progressive, anti-religion, anti-free speech, anti-free thinking, anti-capitalism, and anti-nationalism (Americanism) in the name of "cultural responsiveness". As an example, the Illinois State Board of Education is considering adopting a set of standards proposed by The Diverse and Learner Ready Teacher’s Network (what the hell is that?) designed to"
"...require teachers to be reflective as they build relationships with the students, families and communities they serve while also adapting their teaching methods to be inclusive of students with different cultures, backgrounds, languages, identities and sexual orientations."

In reality they are designed to move the inculcation of individual personal values from the home to the school room, taking away more parental and constitutional rights. A reading of the six proposed standards smacks strongly of the promotion of the Critical Race Theory. Note THEORY! Beneath the six standards are 68 directive sub standards beginning with the ominous words "The culturally responsive teacher and leader will". Here is one example within the Content Selections in All Curricula standard:
5) Embrace and encourage progressive viewpoints and perspectives that leverage asset thinking toward traditionally marginalized populations.
Many of the sub standards contain underlying potentially false assumptions: For example:
3) Understand how the system of inequity has impacted them as an educator.
