Gross! JD Vance's comments are sad and insulting to millions of modern families, and school teachers including Catholic nuns, none of whom should be targeted for their family decisions.
Unearthed audio: JD Vance says teachers who do not have biological children “disorient and really disturb” him: “She should have some of her own [children]”

I am extremely proud to be a small part in supporting the implementation of the TEAACH Act which made Illinois the first state to mandate the inclusion of Asian American peoples and histories in the K-12 curriculum. This guide is fantastic! @ISBEnews uploads-ssl.webflow.com/6421… – at Springfield, IL

“If you look at the amount of money that is being saved by our Illinois families -- when they get a three or higher, they don't have to pay for that college credit -- it's in the $200 million range." ~Dr. Erica Thieman, Director of Standards & Instruction okt.to/GDJ6aV

📢 Illinois leads the nation in AP Exam performance! Our state saw the largest 10-year increase of any state in high school graduates scoring a 3 or higher, in part thanks to our administration lowering the cost for low-income students to $7! nprillinois.org/illinois/202…
