POLL: What grade would you give IL public schools?


ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION IS BOOMING

Pastor Randy Blan joined the 4.22.22 Awake IL FB discussion regarding how IL public schools have many parents and communities concerned. With decreasing academic proficiency and an increased focus on divisive curricula, CRT, gender identity, etc. parents are looking for alternative learning options. Please watch and share with your friends and family. GRACE Association is accepting donations to open new schools. They are also hiring educators who place a high importance on academics and who are eager to teach in a conservative setting.
