As many of you know, the Illinois General Assembly is considering HB 1237, the elimination of certain mascots throughout the state, especially those pertaining to Native Americans. A new amendment has been filed to this bill, but it still does not meet all the criteria set forth by the opponents of the bill. Most importantly, it takes away local control from districts which is unnecessary.
The House Education Policy Committee is scheduled to meet tomorrow morning at 8:00 am to debate the bill.
If you are interested, please complete a witness slip to oppose this bill and the amendment at https://my.ilga.gov/WitnessSlip/Create/157029?committeeHearingId=21848&LegislationId=157029&LegislationDocumentId=204127&HCommittees4%2F15%2F2025-page=1&committeeid=0&chamber=H&nodays=7&_=1744125741458
