<p>Public schools have long failed our children. Academic scores continue to drop and moral decay continues to creep in through the forms of critical race theory, gender theory, the usurpation of parental authority, and more.</p>
<p>Scott Phelps, head of the <a href="https://www.ampartnership.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Abstinence and Marriage Partnership</strong></a> organization, reveals another way that public education is failing our children:</p>

<blockquote><p>&#8220;Planned Parenthood is not only the largest provider of abortions in America, they are also the largest provider of sex education programs in America.</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/12/spotlight-the-success-sequence-to-save-gen-z/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>In our day of weaponized government and intolerance for honest speech, it isn’t difficult to imagine a scenario where politicians would willingly relegate our individual freedoms – guaranteed to us in the U.S. Constitution – to the voters in the states to decide what levels of liberty – and restrictions of those liberties – they would allow going forward.</p>
<p>For those of us in blue states, it isn’t a stretch to imagine how this would play out for the Second Amendment.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/04/downgrading-the-right-to-life/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
