House Bill 246 was introduced by Rep. Anna Moeller to amend the school code to add a more inclusive history curriculum. "In public schools only, the teaching of history shall include a study of the roles and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the history of this country and this State," the bill states.
Read More"One of the best ways to overcome intolerance is through education and exposure to different people and viewpoints," State Sen. Heather Steans, who also sponsored the bill, said in a statement on her website earlier this year."An inclusive curriculum will not only teach an accurate version of history but also promote acceptance of the LGBTQ community."The bill passed the Senate and House earlier this year and is scheduled to go into effect in July 2020.
See it’s shit like this that make people not like you. Give you an inch & you take a mile. Now you’re going too far,stepping on people’s toes & infringing on other’s/parents rights! I don’t want your life style shoved down my innocent grandchildren’s throats! Shame on you! NO! 😡
You won your right to marriage & can openly announce your gay or had your shit changed, but it’s childish, overkill & we’re all just sick to death of hearing about what politically correct words you need to be called! Being equal doesn’t mean parading your private life around! 🙄
So ridiculous! Children have no business knowing this anymore than they need to know about sex until their parents think they’re old enough to know. Anything to do with sex & sexuality should NEVER be done by anyone, but the child’s parents! This is wrong on so many levels!😡😡😡
These the role models and life experiences you're talking about HeatherSteans?
What history?
So is every story in these books now going to have a footnote that explains each persons’ sexuality? How is this a priority in Illinois?
You have failed to teach accurate history to the so called black children no curriculum of self pride or accurate history but now sexuality is a part of the miseducation of youth. Where are the priorities?
I really dont know what gender a person liked to shtup has to do with their historical accomplishments. I really dont remember worrying about this even as an adult and studying history.
What a waste of money and time. Our planet is in biocrisis , educate kids about sustainability and mindfulness and our place and responsibilities in the planet. This applies to everyone. Why pander to LGBTWTF agenda?
Disgusting
I identify as a member of the royal family of the opposite sex who has two children with Prince Charles. Who will represent me when it comes time to make that evil, rich? opinionated white man to pay his dues?!
Omg CNN so sexist !!! Can't believe that they are promoting the sexist bias gay community who are known for their hate and oppression of the Trans Community. Being gay is in itself oppressing Trans just by existing !!!! They should all be ashamed. And CNN needs to apologise
Ok? Who knew that was coming but, hey!!! Maybe that's a good thing because this way kids will further understand & maybe not make fun of the LGBTQ community!!! awesome
unless We clean up the deadly violent streets, we ain’t got no future. Where the hell is Lightfoot?
Role models. Sure.
You can never learn too much I always say. I meant to add that.
Unlike the Middle Ages there is learning to be had outside the Bible. Ironically though the Bible itself says God inspires men to seek out wisdom in Ecclesiastes 1:13. (I'm not peddling religion, just giving a reference.)
The freaking world is going nuts!
This should definitely be an elective, not a requirement. Sorry but I don't need to know a historical figures sexuality to appreciate their contributions.
Abort_is_Murder I'm in a panic mode.
Thank G-D we have these wealthy Jewish people in power! Could you imagine how backwards our country would be without them tikkunolam

Curriculum this is English math not science it is an emotional life style choice! But God is forbidden in schools.
Handsoffthekids carpediem101 Did you see this?
What have lgtbq done that needs to be taught? They can’t produce children without the opposite sex so why do my children need to know about there mental illness? If they were truly gay they wouldn’t have children.
We should next add gaming history while we are at it
🤮
It's easy to get an American citizen in trouble... make a call filled with unsubstantiated charges of child abuse & they are forced to prove their innocence. But drag your kid thousands of miles across dangerous territory without adequate food & water (Mexico)... ~TheHardTruth.
More nonsense from democratic psychopaths!
So awesome, will straight white history be taught alongside this blasphemy?
I assume the children will be taught that 'Neil Armstrong wasn't LGBTQ but he managed to do something interesting anyway'. IllinoisLGBTQcurriculum
Woe to everyone who leads little ones astray. God sees.
The only history they've ever made is them shoving their beliefs down our children's throats.
Freaks, Trying to teach kids to be freaks ... SMDH
all the people pissed about this
You guys wonder why the US is trailing most countries in education. Children should be taught to read, write , do math and science. Need to go back to the old saying “reading, writing and arithmetic
LGBT history. Lesson 1:
WOW looks like they’re starting the gay brainwashing even earlier now 😂😂
So let me get this straight people freak out about religion being shoved down people’s throats and it being in school but it’s ok to shove the LGBtQrstuv beliefs down kids throats? Sounds about liberal
Cool. I would've loved to learn that if I was still in school....problem being i had focus issues when it comes to anything history so it wouldn't have done much good.
🤮
We take God and prayer out of schools but add this to our kids' daily carriculum? Then we wonder why our society is headed down its' current path. Painfully obvious that the liberal agenda does NOT have anyone best interest in mind. children homeschool
Homeschool your children if this is your state. Pedophiles in waiting. If their desire wasn't YOUR children, they wouldn't be after them so hard. It's your children, not theirs. Protect them with your lives!
Some of these comments.... Yikes...
Well we know now that there will be a increase of school shootings in Illinois
God's judgement will fall. Pure evil with effrontery.
Sick
SenatorSteans That’s gross
A CRIME AGAINST NORMAL GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN & THIS WOMAN WILL PAY POLITICALLY FOR HER ABUSE OF POWER AGAINST SANCTITY OF A CHILD'S NORMAL GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT! ISSUES INVOLVING LGBT BELONG WITH FAMILY MED = NOT IN THE CLASSROOM! THE CORRUPTION OF OUR YOUTH CONTINUES!
A extra vacation for my children. Call us back when yah done teaching abomination.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I’m fine with this, but in my opinion it should be able to be on the students and parents choice to be in this class
I wanna move to Illinois now! 🥺💓💓💓
k
This is legit the dumbest thing ever
HOW DO WE GET THIS IN MINNESOTA?!?!
sweet, I was looking for a class I can take a nap in
Wrong on so many levels.
sorry but no. this is bullshit. this should be optional, not mandatory. how is this going to help them live in life? how about instead of teaching this, you teach them how to, oh idk, do taxes or how to make a resume or how to do job interviews?
Children only become transgender at the guidance of an adult. Someone has to teach them the idea. It is destroying the most pure thing on the planet. A child’s innocence. No better than Epstein. Corrupting innocence.
Thankful for homeschool where history can be taught without forced agendas. illinois law publicschool
SenatorSteans While her kids go to private Jewish school your Gentile children get molded into zombies 🧟♂️
Hey look at me I’m gay hey look at me I’m special pay attention to me I need your attention. You’re not looking at me hey look at me I’m special hey pay attension to me. 🙄🙄
So wrong.
History? Idk what anybody being gay has to to do with education should be an elective teach kids how to do taxes not asses
But what about pretend Jesus? What would he do?
Lost city of Atlantis all over again! The ones thinking there hero's are the ones fuckin everything up! More Mass-Shootings will come of this, & folks will blame VideoGames/Trump instead of the truth! thisiswhatyouwanted
Reminder to make sure you're wearing Level B or above hazmat protection before scrolling down into the comments.
PC gone too far. I agree with teaching LGBTQ in reference to civil rights, but to follow every historical figure with the phrase “this person was ____” - fill in the blank with straight, bi, lesbian, gay, etc. is stupid. Celebrate for their accomplishments regardless of identity.
Society has really gone to shit now.
Because that’s exactly what we need to teach children. We already don’t teach them enough about slavery and the actual brutality behind it but we gotta teach children about a group of people who hate towards anyone BUT people in their own community
Sad
Big lol at the comments saying “iNdOctRiNaTiOn” then saying there’s no God in schools🤡
Garbage
Role models?
I was in grammar school & h.s. in the 70s & 80s. This garbage was never taught. Repent. Jesus is coming soon
💚💚🌈
History and civics is already a mess in the public schools - a mishmash of political correctness that misses huge swaths of important topics. It’s as if they intentionally are trying to make schools worse
Bye students & teachers privateschool
SenatorSteans Normalize the 1%. Sad day for the other 99.
Oh my god kids are learning about the history of people who aren't straight white men in schools?! What's next? Learning about math, science and geography? This country is doomed to have a generation of educated children! sarcasm
Fake news again.
CNN - Propaganda
Alot of hateful people here it really baffles me how upset people get over anything that includes the LGBTQ people being treated like everyone else, having representation like everyone else.
PATHETIC
I just don’t see what someone’s sexual preference has to do with their historical significance.
Trying to force a certain sexuality on kids is literally child abuse. Yet you Sjws want everyone to be gay, bi, lesbian or something else to fit into your fantasy. Your movement has done more harm than good and this is absolute proof of that. itsokaytobestraight.
This is wrong! Why GovPritzker ?
I don’t understand why people think is a bad thing if you don’t support it that’s You’re right if you do that’s you’re right either way you’re getting a better understanding of the community and what it was and is like to be apart of it
deviltaemins I don’t understand the people in comments against this? It’s literally like teaching the history of the LGBT community in order to foster a more inclusive environment and to normalize it. Please give me one problem that this will create...
Hey were are ranked what 75th in math but now people can know about trannies👍🏻
I’m so glad my children are adults. And my grand children don’t live in the fucked up state of Illinois.
I generally confused on why people are hating on this. Can anyone explain?
What's sad is how many people in the comments wouldn't be so hate filled and fearful if this was just the way we were taught already. They're history is our history, just as all people's is. If you think history was only built by people just like you your self delusion is amazing
You must hate your kid if you send him to public school in the US.
Dumb and unnecessary.
Some people are gay some people aren’t. That’s it. That’s the whole curriculum
Why do people want the government in this space? It is so incredibly strange. Raise your kids. Have conversations. Stop trying to indoctrinate children through state sponsored garbage.
Aren't we just one big 'La-De-Da' nation? Let's teach our kids about law, personal economics, how our gov't works, gun safety, proper Internet behavior, etc. This is something actually useful instead of all this politically correct bullshit!
The test question....the first dick sucked by another was when?...What is a carpet muncher? What does it mean when a man is packing fudge? What do poppers do? Lol ewwww
C’mon Connecticut ! GovNedLamont
Great news nice that the kids who r gay will know they r not alone n who they r is ok. Better then the fake religion saying it's a demon or it's a mental illness, this will save many from bullying n suicide. Wtg Illinois
What's the benefit in that pray tell.
Just plain gross glad I don’t have kids.
Los sodomitas son repudiados por Dios, porque en la biblia dice que ellos no entrarán al reino de Dios....👎
Sodoma y Gomorra... Sodomitas
Lot of bigotry, hate and nonsense in the comments.
This is great except for one thing, 'LGBTQ children'?
Malditos cães do Diabo comunistD de merda está porcaria da CNn
Child abuse
The fact that the right protests this but not kids dying in schools tells you all you need to know about them.
Gay is a choice and a bad choice. It’s unnatural and disgusting.
Sexual abuse.
LGBT123456 a child does not no that nonsense....usually for demonic possession of perversion to kick in...if ever...it usually happens in the late teens to early 20s....a child has no concept of that nonsense..they would have to be taught and trained and that becomes child abuse.
Good! Gay people exist and have existed since the dawn of time and have contributed a bunch of things to society and deserve to be taught about. Anyone offended over kids be taught about LGBT people can are the real problem.
Step 1 to make the LGBT community more accepted: stop talking about LGBT
FFS.
'In public schools only, ...’
Why?
LGBTQ Children how on earth such idea can be asserted from thin air?why people willingly follow each other over a cliff for absurd thoughts.
As long as real, actual history is also taught and not “replaced” by this, then this is no problem. There’s just more homework for the kids, but they will be better informed and free to make a choice on who to make role models. Now, if this is pushed as a replacement...F.U.!
🤮
Yes! Actually teach kids about Turning and stonewall and the Aides crises. Teach kids acceptance. Being lgbt+ can be so lonely for a teen still finding themselves knowing they arent alone is so important and is something I wish I had growing up.
The indoctrination of our youth and identity politics continues. People hear stuff like this and they feel good, but they don’t understand how bad this is and the destruction it will leave in its wake. Teach kids history - period.
I didn't realize that any history has been suppressed, if someone did something to make history I'm sure it's still in the archives, it may not say whether the person was gay or lesbian, but maybe they didn't want anyone to know
Aha! Our (Big Gay) agenda is finally coming into fruition!!
When you add words to what is good it desecrates it’s power. Example: “Social” Justice. Justice does not need any help. We just need JUSTICE for all. Same with History. Just teach history...don’t desecrate it with agenda.
How is that? Because Rosie children turn out so well
GROSSS ashamed to live in Illinois. liberal cess pool my kids will never ever be apart of any of this nonsense
This is not acceptable. Teaching about others sexual preferences does not belong in the public schools. Try the basics of reading, writing, math and science. Quality of the education is very lacking these days.
From 4% of the human population, at best? Kids would do better to learn real biology, real genetics, even real theology! None of which support any of those letters.
people like the clintons?
Right after the class on calculating how many weekend shootings there were in Chicago every weekend year to date. Yay Illinois!
