    I think this is why the reactionary Moms 4 Liberty school board takeover is backfiring but they do so much damage in the meantime

      Imagine pretending you want a "neutral" list of books then mentioning PragerU. The proud ignorance is just so gross.

    Of course it's Wadsworth. I live about 15 minutes away from there and that entire area (Wadsworth, Zion, Winthrop Harbor, Antioch) is filled with some of the most right wing, loonie, Bible-thumping entitled rednecks that you'll see. You can't go two houses without seeing Trump 2024 or Fuck Biden flags.

    It's a list chosen by children. There's no agenda. You want to push your own agenda but the state banned book bans so you're trying to worm your way around it.

    Fuck Illinois nazi's
