Mar. 6, 2008 - Another great reason to be a Homeschooler in IL
My DH got an email from Americans for Truth this morning about a suburban Chicago HS that is using Angels in America in their AP Literature Class. (this link takes you to the Americans for Truth website).
Everyone wonders why the youth in america are in so much trouble, well take a look at the curriculum in the schools.
I have made several phone calls to those listed on the AFT website letting them know they need to be more responible for what is being taught in the schools and not allowing books like this to be used as teaching material. The teacher himself, the school principal, the school district and the regional office of education and so far no one seems to think this isn't a problem.
So glad I am a homeschooler in IL. This is the 3rd such case this past year or unexceptable reading material in Chicago area schools.
It frightens me to know that I have a niece entering public HS next year and another niece the following year. (not Deerfield, but local suburban Chicago HS) Praying their HS's won't subject them to such reading material.
It's sad what is happening in the schools! I lived in Illinois until I was a teenager- we lived in Lake Zurich. Just thought I would tell you that. LOL
