(Springfield, IL) — Illinois public schools will continue teaching LGBTQ+ issues, Black, and Asian American history despite a federal warning. State Superintendent Tony Sanders says despite a recent federal government warning, accurately portraying the contributions of these groups is required by the Illinois’ Inclusive Curriculum Law. The federal Department of Education recently warned that schools risk losing federal funding if they continue with diversity initiatives. The warning doesn’t carry the weight of law.

More on Ambulance Service--Are you Open to a Tax to help support it?

In our most recent poll, the vast majority of individuals voted they were either very concerned or somewhat concerned that Fayette County does not currently have a contract with an ambulance service—-It has been discussed that some kind of support may be needed to help an ambulance service survive in Fayette County. Would you be open to approving some type of funding (perhaps a sales tax increase) to help pay for ambulance services in Fayette County?

Yes--I would be open to help fund an ambulance service in Fayette County

No--I am against helping to fund ambulance service in Fayette County
