In Illinois, a shocking analysis recently revealed that 60 schools across the state had zero students proficient in either math or reading in 2022.

23 schools, 18 of which are located in Chicago, had zero students demonstrating grade-level proficiency in either subject in 2022, according to an analysis of state data by Wirepoints. An additional seven Illinois schools had zero students proficient in reading alone, while 30 had zero proficient students in just math.

The shocking report comes as school districts across the country examine the effect of pandemic lockdowns and remote learning on students. Nationwide, standardized test scores suffered their largest year-to-year drop in history following near nationwide lockdowns, according to a report published last December.

The massive drop-off has led a handful of Democrats to break party ranks and question the disastrous effects of lockdowns. Illinois state Senator Willie Preston, a Democrat whose district includes part of Chicago’s South Side, blamed lockdowns for the city’s declining quality of education during a recent interview with Fox News.

“I believe this is something that is a byproduct of some of our policies that we were taking during COVID,” Preston told Fox News on Monday. “This is a very serious issue and one that as a father and as a lawmaker, I’m going to be addressing feverishly.”

The Chicago analysis comes just weeks after an examination of Baltimore public schools revealed similarly troubling results. In Baltimore, 23 public schools had zero students at grade-level proficiency in math in 2022.

A California school district recently held an events for “employees of color” at which attendees were urged not to invite their White peers due to “feelings of uneasiness and mistrust.”

The Acalanes Union School District, located in the Bay Area, hosted an event for all employees of color in February. Dr. Lynnā McPhatter-Harris, the director of Student Support Equity & Inclusion for the district and planner of the event, informed White educators that they would not be welcome, according to an email obtained by Libs of TikTok.

“Hello POCC staff, we are ready for out first coming together in 2023,” McPhatter-Harris wrote in the email. “We are looking forward to seeing our people of color in the district. Please invite any employee of color to this event.”

“Be reminded that we have avoided inviting people that are not of color as there remains feelings of uneasiness and mistrust and we need this to be a safe space for our people of color,” she went on to say. “Please reach out to me if you have any questions of concerns.”

The Acalanes Union School District has previously been the subject of controversy in 2020, when the district’s school board opted to hold out and keep lockdown procedures in place while neighboring California districts were lifting them.

“I think that this divisiveness is very unfortunate and it’s counterproductive,” said Mark Woolway, who opted to run for an open board seat. “But again, I think that this is reflective of a lot of the broader issues that are happening in the country.”

Parents and residents are demanding answers after an analysis of Baltimore schools found a significant number of city schools where not a single student was proficient in math at their grade level.

The Maryland State Department of Education recently released the 2022 state test results known as MCAP, Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program.

According to the results, Baltimore’s math scores were found to be the lowest in the state Just 7 percent of third-through-eighth graders tested proficient in math, meaning that 93% of students could not do math at their grade level.

Project Baltimore recently released results from a more comprehensive analysis, in which the group analyzed test scores from all 150 of the city’s schools. Ultimately, Project Baltimore identified 23 schools where not one student was proficient in math, Fox 45 reported.

“We’re not living up to our potential,” said Jovani Patterson, a Baltimore resident who previously filed a lawsuit against Baltimore City Schools. The suit claims that the city is failing to educate students and is misusing city funds as a result.

“My immediate reaction is, take your kids out of these schools,” Patterson said in response to Project Baltimore’s findings. “It just sounds like these schools, now, have turned into essentially babysitters with no accountability, “he said. “This is the future of our city. We’ve got to change this.”

Among the list of 23 schools, 10 were high schools, eight elementary, three middle/high schools and two elementary/middle schools.

Exactly 2,000 students, in total, took the state math test at these schools, though not one was able to demonstrate proficiency. In addition to the 23 schools without any math proficiency, another 20 Baltimore City Schools had just one or two students test proficient, Fox 45 reported.

A Massachusetts preschool teacher was fired from her job after the superintendent was informed that she filmed OnlyFans content on school grounds. OnlyFans is a London-based subscription service in which users can upload pornographic content for a fee.

The Wolf Swamp Road school was notified by a representative of Libs of TikTok that a preschool teacher named Brenna Percy appeared to have filmed adult OnlyFans content in one of the school’s bathrooms. Libs of TikTok provided the school with photos from an OnlyFans account belonging to Percy after receiving a tip from a concerned parent, Fox News reported.

In one photograph captioned “naughty at work,” Percy’s chest was exposed. That photo appears to have been taken in the school’s bathroom.

“My jaw is on my desk,” a secretary for the Wolf Swamp Road school told Libs of TikTok when noticed of the account. In a follow-up call, the school’s superintendent told Libs of TikTok that Percy “no longer works for Longmeadow Public Schools.”

The story comes less than three months after an Arizona high school teacher was forced to resign after students discovered her pornographic OnlyFans account. The Lake Havasu City Police Department said it received a tip about the pornographic content, some of which took place in a classroom setting.

Police said in a statement that the images were “presumably” taken on school property, prompting an ongoing investigation.

Marlene Pray, the founder of a Planned Parenthood-backed LGBT youth sex education group in Bucks County, PA, discussed “white terror” and stated that there is “no such thing” as a “good” white person during a Zoom meeting. Pray is the founder of the Rainbow Room, an “LGBTQIA youth program that provides a supportive and empowering environment for youth ages 14-21.”

During a zoom meeting on the topic of “systemic racism,” Pray, a white woman, was asked if she herself was a racist. “Yes, absolutely. I am a racist. I participate and function and benefit from a system of racism,” the Rainbow Room founder replied enthusiastically. “Whether we call it white supremacy, although we are in no way supreme, so white terrorism is sometimes a more appropriate term for this system that we live in.”

Pray went on to say that “white folks traded our humanity in order to gain white terror and supremacy and white superiority. That’s part of the history of the founding United States.”

“And I have inherited this white privilege that is totally unearned, that is… it’s also dehumanizing, that is the piece I was adding,” she continued. “But it’s, for me, it’s, as well as oppressive as well as oppressive, and damaging, and violent, and lethal to people of color,” Pray continued. “I can do what I can to minimize harm all the time. I am never free of harm as a white person, I am never a completely safe white person.”

The far-left activist went on to praise author Patrice Jackson, stating that there is “no such thing as a good person,” only that they can “minimize the harm” that they do.

The Rainbow Room — a Planned Parenthood initiative — was founded in 2002 and routinely encourages left-wing activism among students. Pennsylvania-based activist Megan Brock posted screenshots from the group’s Facebook page encouraging participation in protests for abortion access, Black Lives Matter and advocacy for DACA immigrants.

This past October, the project received a $630,000 state grant that will fund its operating costs for years to come. “Make no mistake, The Rainbow Room saves lives,” said state Senator Steve Santarsiero at a press conference announcing the grant. “It is my sincere hope that this will make a huge difference in the lives of kids moving forward as The Rainbow Room has already.”

Pray stated at the time that the resources will be used to open a second location to accompany its initial meeting place in Doylestown. According to the Bucks County Courier, state funds have allowed the group to “hire a fulltime community health educator and include a second group known as Roy G. Biv, an LGBTQ+ youth group for kids 10-14 which had been run by volunteers in the community before becoming an official part of The Rainbow Room.”

While speaking at the press conference, Pray stated that the increased funding was coming at a crucial time.

“We are clearly in a time of escalated attacks and threats and cruelty and misinformation directed at LGBTQ youth and it just makes the strengthening of The Rainbow Room that much more significant in our nation and our community’s history,” Pray said.

Parents are calling for a Michigan school board member to resign after she tweeted “whiteness is so evil” and stated that white people are more dangerous than animals.

Kesha Hamilton defended her comments at a Jackson School Board meeting this past Tuesday. Attendance was higher than usual at the monthly meeting, per MLive, with some speakers supporting Jackson and others calling for her resignation.

In a December 18 tweet, Hamilton wrote: “Whiteness is so evil. it manipulates then says, I won’t apologize for my dishonesty and trauma-inducing practices and thinks you should applaud it for being honest about its ability to manipulate and be dishonest.”

In another tweet, Hamilton stated that white people pose more of a threat to black people than wild animals. “The last thing you have to worry about is an animal – though that could be a very real threat.. more dangerous are any whites you may see on the trail.. be safe!” the Michigan school board member wrote in response to a Twitter user.

During the public comment portion of last Tuesday’s meeting, Hamilton faced calls to resign from a number of parents.

“Someone in her influential position must be held to a high standard. She must be a representative for all students in the JPS system,” parent Gina Hastings said, according to MLive. She called Hamilton “angry and bitter.”

“Her racist comments should not be condoned. How can all kids feel safe when physical characteristics over which they have no control are being called evil and dangerous,” the concerned parent added.

“You are not addressing the disparities, you are adding to them by your hurtful remarks. Your words are not unifying our community. Your words are dividing our community,” said another parent, Jackie Leslie.

Hamilton also received her fair share of support at the meeting, including from one speaker who claimed to be a “white.. conservative, Christian man.”

“Never once in these five years has she questioned me, a white man – a conservative Christian white man at that – in regards to teaching her children about their history, a history that is not mine,” Jackson High School teacher Paris Anderson said.

Hamilton herself said she is “overwhelmed” by the show of the support from members of the community who “understood the point she was trying to make,” MLive reported.

“What I understand from being a woman in this American nation and a Black woman specifically is that sometimes others would rather I not exercise any of my rights as outlined in the Constitution. I do not apologize for exercising any of my rights.”

Hamilton also works as a “racial equity consultant” with Diverse Minds Consulting LLC and has been highly critical of district policies that fuel a “white supremacist system.” She is also the chair of the city of Jackson’s Racial Equity Commission.

A six-year-old who shot his teacher reportedly told another educator that he wanted to set her on fire and watch her die, according to a report from the Washington Post. Despite the violent threats, school administrators reportedly ignored complaints from teachers and told them to drop the issue.

Last month, the child acted out on his threats and shot his first-grade teacher, Abigail Zwerner, at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia. The boy reportedly pulled out a 9mm pistol that belonged to his mother and shot Zwerner twice. The first bullet struck her hand while a second bullet struck her upper chest.

Despite her injuries, Zwerner evacuated her students from the classroom while another school employee restrained the boy. After evacuating her students, Zwerner collapsed and was rushed to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Thankfully, the 25-year-old is now in stable condition and is expected to survive.

Administrators at Richneck Elementary School are now facing criticism over accusations that they failed to act on warnings from Zwerner and other teachers about the boy’s murderous threats.

According to the Washington Post, Zwerner asked for support with the boy and raised the alarm over his threats and behaviors in an email to Newport News Superintendent George Parker III. The child, who was known to throw furniture and other objects in the classroom, once wrote a note to a teacher stating that he hated her and wanted to set her on fire.

When the teacher brought the note to school administrators, she was reportedly told to drop the issue.

In another incident, the boy barricaded his teacher and fellow inside their classroom. The door was only able to be opened after Zwerner repeatedly banged on the door, alerting a colleague across the hall.

Following the shooting — which took place without warning — Parker revealed that at least one school official had been alerted the boy may have brought a weapon to school hours before the shooting. A weapon was not found upon searching the boy’s backpack, however, the Newport News superintendent stated.

Newport News Police Chief Steve Drew has announced that an investigation into the shooting, which has been classified as “intentional,” is ongoing.

It is unclear whether the boy’s parents will face criminal charges at this time. In their first public statement on the incident this past Thursday, the boy’s parents claimed that the firearm was “secured.”

“Our heart goes out to our son’s teacher and we pray for her healing in the aftermath of such an unimaginable tragedy as she selflessly served our son and the children in the school,” the family said. The statement also noted that the boy suffers from an “acute disability,” adding that he has been under hospital care since the shooting and is getting “the treatment he needs.”

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is instructing school administrators to adopt a self-assessment that will measure how “inclusive” their district is for the LGBT community.

“School administrators: Our LGBTQ inclusivity self-assessment tool can help you quickly gauge inclusivity at your school. See your score today and learn ways to increase inclusivity,” the CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH) in a tweet this past Tuesday, December 27. The tweet then linked to a handbook titled, “LGBTQ Inclusivity in Schools: A Self-Assessment Tool.”

The handbook defines inclusiveness as “the presence of clear policies or practices that address the needs of LGBTQ students who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized due to factors such as sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.”

Under the guidelines, teachers, school staff and administrators are instructed to measure their commitment to inclusivity through a number of assessments. They are then instructed to determine whether they fall into one of three categories: “Mostly A’s,” who are classified as exceptionally inclusive, “Mostly B’s,” who are seen as on the right path to maximum inclusivity, and “mostly C’s,” which describes educators and staff who are not adequately inclusive.

In one example, test takers who answer that gender and sexual orientation is always unique and can be “experienced on a continuum” receive an “A” rating under the handbook’s criteria. Those who do not agree with that statement are given a “C” rating.

For administrators, those who assure that school events such as homecoming and pep rallies include both gender-conforming and non-gender-conforming couples are given an A rating, as are those who provide bathrooms and locker rooms where students are free to pick based on the gender identity of their choosing.

As for teachers, those who display LGBT-themed decorations such as pride flags in their classrooms, receive “A” ratings. Such ratings are also doled out to teachers who “present information on all types of sex, not centering on penis/vagina penetrative sex” and describe the human anatomy and physiology as separate from gender using terms like “body with a penis,” The Epoch Times reported.

The CDC’s tweet has generated backlash among a number of parental rights in education activists and Republican politicians.

“The Biden CDC is a radical leftwing agency that pushes politics instead of science. The CDC should NOT be using your tax dollars to tell children that they can ‘change’ their gender,” U.S. Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) wrote in a tweet. “I will oppose ALL funding for Biden’s agenda to surgically & chemically castrate young children!”

“Shocking that the same agency that worked hand-in-glove with the unions to keep schools closed is now pushing this controversial guidance,” said Nicki Neily, founder and president of Parents Defending Education.

A number of public school districts across the nation have adopted similar guidelines, many of which instruct teachers to keep their students’ “gender identity” a secret from parents if necessary.

A now-former teacher assistant at an elementary school in Arkansas pleaded guilty to child pornography charges earlier this week.

On Tuesday, Augustus Shenker, a 22-year-old, pleaded guilty to three counts alleging he produced child pornography inside an Arkansas classroom.

Shenker was indicted over child pornography charges in June 2021 after the FBI received a tip in May that alleged Shenker had a Dropbox account with an email that possessed seven different explicit child pornography videos.

FBI investigators looked into Shenker and realized he was employed at an early education school in Little Rock.

Shenker’s place of employment, Miss Selma’s School, educates students as young as 18 months old through fifth grade.

After FBI agents got a warrant on Shenker, they seized his iPhone and discovered six videos Shenker made in March 2021 where he groped a preschooler in a classroom.

A hidden folder on Shenker’s phone contained 19 more videos of explicit child pornography filmed in the classroom at Miss Selma’s School.

United States Attorney Jonathan Ross called Shenker’s actions “unthinkable abuse.”

“This defendant violated the trust parents placed in him each day by placing their children in his care. Using his position to exploit preschoolers is an unthinkable abuse, especially in their own school—the very place we expect children to be protected,” Ross said.

“We appreciate the hard work of the FBI in identifying and arresting this defendant and hope this conviction deters others who would harm children,” he added.

Shenker first told investigators he formerly had a problem with child pornography years ago. Investigators also discovered thousands of images of child pornography across Shenker’s devices.

The 22-year-old is expected to face 15-30 years in prison and will be placed on the sex offender registry.

A mother named Fallon Clark, who is associated with the pro-Republican BLEXIT movement, spoke at a recent school board meeting in Hamilton County in Tennessee to denounce the Critical Race Theory (CRT) curriculum agenda being pushed on America’s schoolchildren. CRT is widely seen as pushing anti-White racism while emboldening exploitative minority grievance agendas by distorting the history of Western Civilization to portray White people as being evil.

Clark said that Critical Race Theory “plants the same seed of divisiveness,” and argued that the curriculum perpetuates false ideas about the history of our nation.

“Slavery ended in 1865. A hundred and forty-six years worth of information since then, and yet it’s filled with nothing but slavery, trauma, inferiority, and that’s all the history anyone ever shoves in front of us. Again, why? What is the purpose? CRT is not an accurate account of Black history or American history, for that matter, and it is imperative that we do not allow it to pass as such,” Clark stated.

America is experiencing major parental backlash to politically-motivated education in America’s schools. The tendency for educators to push Critical Race Theory and also the transgender ideology on small children has inflamed many decent-minded parents across the political spectrum and contributed to symbolically significant Republican electoral wins in the 2022 midterm elections and the most recent Virginia gubernatorial race.

However, with Republicans constantly on defense, and conservative parents fighting the anti-degeneracy fight themselves, the social pendulum in America continuously swings to the left. Only by going on offense, peacefully agitating against the entire Woke agenda while simultaneously laying out a defined and popular set of ideas of their own, can conservatives truly slow the Left’s authoritarian march toward so-called “Progress.”
