Op-Ed: Illinois Parents Demand Control Over Dangerous Mental Health Screenings in Schools
Recent legislation in Illinois, signed by @GovPritzker, mandates annual mental health screenings for students in grades 3 through 12 starting in the 2027-2028 school year, despite concerns from experts about the lack of medical oversight and potential for over-diagnosis.
The policy has drawn backlash from parents, school administrators, and policy experts who warn it may overstep boundaries and wrongly label children, echoing broader national debates on parental rights and the role of schools in mental health interventions. Given the flood of calls our team is receiving from various stakeholders, it's important to reinforce: OPT OUT IS YOUR RIGHT, parents.
As a Illinois Mom and advocate for family rights, I stand with parents who strongly oppose the mandate for universal mental health screenings in Illinois public schools.

Thanks to @tracegallagher@foxnewsnight for shedding light on the exploitation of children at IL schools & the radical anti-parent IL house bill 2827.
Our parental rights are not granted by any Governor, legislator, or bureaucrat.
Those rights are GOD GIVEN!
It is the position of Awake IL that administrators at @DPS109 should be placed on leave immediately for coercing the middle school girls into the locker room and expecting them to change in the company of a boy.

Here are 2 strong reasons, non exhaustive, for cause:
1. Unlawful Restraint (720 ILCS 5/10-3)
If the staff member uses coercion, threats, or physical restraint to force minors to undress against their will, this could violate Illinois' unlawful restraint statute. This law prohibits knowingly detaining someone without legal authority, and a staff member compelling a minor to undress in a school setting could meet this definition, especially if the minor feels unable to leave or refuse.
2. Illinois School Code and Mandated
Reporter Obligations (105 ILCS 5/)
Beyond criminal laws, the Illinois School Code governs the conduct of school staff and the safety of students. Demanding that minors undress could violate policies related to student welfare and safety. Additionally, under the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act (325 ILCS 5/), school staff are mandated reporters required to report suspected abuse or neglect. If a staff member's actions are abusive, they could face administrative consequences in addition to legal liability for failing to adhere to these standards.

This right here is why Skokie can’t have nice things.
In the middle of a massive water main break, and residents struggling without water Village Board Trustee Johnson posts on Next Door his vision to change the Village Seal.
Skokie was historically inhabited by Native American tribes, primarily the Potawatomi. Why erase their history?
There are many far more important things to focus on in our community, James.
By the way, your earrings are too big for your earlobes. Just sayin.
Why is radical leftist IL State Legislator @RepStava_Murray trying so desperately to deflect from her anti-parent record and #HB4876?
I'll shed light today at 12:30 CST across @Awake_IL platforms.
I've invited @couragehabit to hop on too if able!
🚨Any IL parent can add their school to the @Moms4Liberty Title IX federal lawsuit!
The Biden Department of Education’s drastic overhaul of Title IX—including rewriting the very definition of “sex” set forth by Congress—is perhaps its most unprecedented and unconstitutional move yet.
Great news! You can add ANY school your student attends to the Moms for Liberty federal lawsuit and inform them of the preliminary injunction. School can be public or private.
Follow these steps:
✅Join Moms for Liberty (at large or chapter; either works) and login to your Moms for Liberty profile at https://t.co/XU2mtusAlR
✅Then click your NAME at top left, click PROFILE, then click EDIT PROFILE.
✅Scroll down and make sure your school district is selected from the drop down (click CONTROL + COMMAND and highlight EACH school where you have children attending).
This list will be updated by the plaintiffs/attorneys as the case proceeds. (The most current filing only lists the YAF schools-NOT Moms for Liberty schools yet as they are all being compiled.)
✅Then you can directly notify your school and/or school district of the preliminary injunction by providing it with a copy of the notice Moms for Liberty filed with the district court. The lawsuit’s key legal filings are available at https://t.co/4YGWAsi53L

Why does the library support a 43 year old male drag queen having an audience of 3 to 6 year olds?
Do you oppose child exploitation? We do too.
SHARE! 🧵
Male drag queen “Coco Sho-Nell” is performing this Sat. 6/8 @skokielibrary to kids ages 3-6.
His Instagram post of his @Maine_West school event has song “bitch is a goddess”.
Skokie is using tax payer funds on child exploitation. Blog post dropping today with call of action.
Instead of wasting tax dollars on expensive consultants, shouldn't we be focusing on ensuring our students receive a quality education with a strong foundation in the basics?
Perhaps @NTHSD219 should start with financial literacy courses. 🙄

We are proud to join 43 orgs on the SAVE effort to defend #TitleIX. While President Biden @POTUS degrades America’s females, @Awake_IL stands by them unequivocally.
