As the Illinois General Assembly enters the final days of its regular session, several troubling bills have advanced, while another still awaits a vote in the Illinois Senate. Taken together, they reflect a clear trend: expanding government power, eroding parental rights, and advancing radical left-wing ideological policies. Thomas Hampson wrote about this recently in an article for IFI titled: The State is Not a Parent.

Rather than strengthening families and reinforcing accountability, these proposals continue to sideline parents and replace parental authority with government control.… Continue Reading

About half of America’s 50 states seem to care more about children’s well-being than about being sufficiently “woke.”

That’s why they don’t embrace gender insanity and instead ban puberty-blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones and irreversible surgery for minors.

The U.S. Supreme Court this past week heard arguments on Tennessee’s law barring trans treatments for minors.

Some justices blew wide holes in the case for creating trans kids. But it’s by no means a lock that this allegedly conservative court will restore sanity on this issue.… Continue Reading

Winston Churchill stood nearly alone in opposition.… Continue Reading

Our first Spotlight of December features a portion of a presentation given by Dr. Michelle Cretella at the 2019 Illinois Family Institute Worldview Conference on “Trans” Ideology. Dr. Cretella discusses the differences between true, biological science, which supports pro-life and pro-family propositions, and the anti-science cult of gender ideology, which is preached by mainstream medicine, psychiatry, public and private education systems, and social and mass media.

Dr. Cretella also addresses the serious implications of the transgender movement: erasure of parents’ rights, women’s rights, and religious freedom; establishment of gender identity as a protected class; as well as potential legal action that awaits anyone who persists in using “discriminatory” language, i.e.… Continue Reading
