Community Unit School District 300 (D300), based in Algonquin, Illinois, is the sixth-largest district in the state, serving families across Kane, McHenry, Cook, and DeKalb counties. While the school board ought to be focused on academic excellence and serving students, instead, the spotlight has been stolen by Vice President of the Board of Education, Nancy Zettler—whose reckless words have inflamed the community and dishonored her office.
Disgraceful Words

Comments Off on Shameful “Karma” Post by D300 School Board President
Written by Dr. Everett Piper
As a university president, I had a front-row seat as I watched hundreds of students descend onto my campus every year. Each fall, I watched with growing discomfort as the increase in self-centeredness became more apparent.
From the athlete who was upset because his coach was too harsh, to the student who failed a test because the professor was “unfair,” to the coed who was incredulous because a faculty member dared to penalize her for skipping class, over and over again, I watched as one generation after another strutted into the classroom with the confidence that they were God’s gift to the ivory tower, regardless of their academic performance (or lack thereof).… Continue Reading

If America’s elite universities want to racially discriminate, they shouldn’t receive taxpayer money.
On Tuesday, Harvard University’s Presidential Task Force on Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Israel Bias released its final report. The 300-plus-page document reveals the depth of the university’s systemic bias against Jewish students.
Many students “described experiences of being bullied or shunned by fellow students, singled out for negative attention by instructors, and feeling ignored by administrators,” the report said. It continued,
“Fear of encountering hostility has led some Jewish students to conceal their Jewish identity from classmates.”

In 1943, C.S. Lewis warned of a day when our country’s educated class would claim that it made sense to “geld the stallion and then bid him be fruitful.” In his seminal work, “The Abolition of Man,” he accused the ivory tower of creating “men without chests,” where instead of pursuing the truth, our schools would educate an entire generation of moral and intellectual amputees with no understanding of the good, the true and the beautiful.… Continue Reading

For the past two weeks, the news headlines have been replete with stories of liberal church leaders condemning the Trump administration for its intent to enforce America’s immigration laws. Here are some examples.
Christianity Today: “Trump’s First Week Sends Shudders Through Immigrant Churches and Ministries.” This article accuses the Trump administration of plunging multiple communities across the nation into fear and anxiety.
Genocide Watch: “Pope Francis Condemns U.S. Deportation Policies, Directly Criticizing Trump’s Immigration Actions.”… Continue Reading

The Trump Administration recently announced a freeze in funding for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and ordered all its employees to pause their work. USAID’s website states,
“On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs.”
Unsurprisingly, this action has sparked outrage amongst a variety of groups.… Continue Reading

Written by Robert Knight
Democrats are circling the wagons, warning that President Trump and fellow Republicans are out for “revenge.” They are counting on the media to misrepresent any attempts at accountability and justice.
People need to be held responsible for the Biden administration’s lawlessness, especially for the bald-faced deception over President Biden’s mental decline. Somebody other than Mr. Biden has been running the country into the ditch for the past four years, and Americans deserve to know who it was.… Continue Reading

Besides Jesus Christ, John the Baptist is by far one of my most favored and respected heroes of the Christian Bible. His boldness and fearless proclamation of the truth concerning the imminent coming of the Kingdom of Christ, even to a hostile and spiritually blind world, caused him to be identified in New Testament Scripture as “the voice of one crying in the wilderness,” prophesied by the prophet Isaiah in the Old Testament.… Continue Reading

Two more American companies have seen the light after feeling the heat.
Like Bud Light beer, which learned the hard way that pushing the transgender agenda was bad for business, Tractor Supply Co. and John Deere recently retracted their diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
The companies cater primarily to farmers, rural homeowners and suburbanites.
LGBTQ groups are expressing outrage. Human Rights Campaign Vice President Eric Bloem accuses John Deere of bending to “a coordinated attack by far-right extremists on American business.”… Continue Reading

Written by Dr. Everett Piper
There is a concerted effort to divide our country, and the people responsible know that if they can get us to focus on ourselves, our grievances and our victimhood, the very fabric of our nation can be torn apart thread by thread. As Solomon said, “A cord of three strands is not easily broken,” but a cord of one is defenseless. In other words, divide and conquer.
The transparent “us against them” agenda of the diversity, equity and inclusion movement is but one example.… Continue Reading
