@Shannon_A_IL @Awake_IL @HelenLevinson Congratulations, Helen! Your courage and your patience have served you very well, deservedly so.

🚨 MASSIVE VICTORY for Free Speech — the Woke mob just got absolutely CRUSHED! Huge congratulations to my fearless friend @HelenLevinson and @Awake_IL Vice President for your uncancellable courage, gritty advocacy, and warrior leadership! You stood tall against the radical left’s censorship machine and helped deliver a knockout blow. They came hard, but you fought harder — and Woke lost BIGLY! Unwavering parents like you are the reason America is fighting back and winning. The tide is turning. Helen is an example of how to keep leading the charge. Proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with friends like these-true American warriors! Cheers!

Teachers’ unions are spending millions to block school choice across states. At a time when families want options, these unions are fighting to preserve a system where they retain control over what happens in the classroom. 🎥 @charliekirk11 | @AndrewKolvet | @BlakeSNeff

🚨 Justice Department Launches Investigations Concerning Gender Ideology in Pre-K-12 Schools in 36 Illinois School Districts “This Department of Justice is determined to put an end to local school authorities keeping parents in the dark about how sexuality and gender ideology are being pushed in classrooms,” said @AAGDhillon. “Supreme Court precedent leaves no doubt: parents have the fundamental right and primary authority to direct the care, upbringing, and education of their children. This includes exempting their children from ideological instruction that contradicts their values or decisions about their children’s health and best interests.” 🔗: justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…
