Morning Update: Title IX Revenge?

Today, on the Morning Update, three dozen Illinois school districts are under investigation, and Gov Governor JB Prickster, sorry, Pritzker, doesn’t like it, not one bit. He says it’s because Trump hates his state, but the more likely truth is that he and the Public Ed Industrial Complex hate parents.

Welcome to your Tuesday, May 5th, 2026, morning update. Illinois Governor J.B. Prickzker, Prick, Prickzker, Prick, that prick J.B. Pritzker popped a hemorrhoid this week.

He claims the most recent DOJ investigation into his state is

A sham designed to punish states that President Trump doesn’t like. What exactly does he mean?

The Department of Justice has launched a sweeping civil rights investigation into 36 Illinois public school districts accused of pushing transgender ideology on students from pre-K through 12th grade. Pre-K through 12th grade.

That’s the accusation.

The federal probe announced by the DOJ Civil Rights Division on Thursday is also looking into whether these districts are allowing biological males into girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams, which would be a direct violation of Title IX and basic child safety.

Quote, the investigations will examine whether these Illinois school districts, which are recipients of hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer funding, are adhering to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and the Supreme Court’s extensive precedence on parental rights as recently reiterated in Mirabelli v. Bonta and Mahmood v. Taylor, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon said in a press release.

This Department of Justice is determined to put an end to local school authorities keeping parents in the dark about how sexuality and gender ideology are being pushed in the classrooms. The districts are charged with grooming children and hiding it from their tax-paying parents. Here’s a quick clip from Fox.

Pritzker also insists that the Civil Rights Division is focused on belittling the rights and humanity of LGBT communities. Heads up, Mr. Pritzker, I know the Constitution isn’t probably one of your strongest subjects, but regardless of whether you call yourself a man or a woman or dress as is culturally appropriate, you have the exact same rights as the rest of us.

A man in a dress has the right to free speech, to defend himself, carry a firearm. He has a right to a trial by jury. The government cannot house soldiers in his house, and so on and so forth. They have the right to vote. They have the right to assembly, to believe whatever religious faith they want, as long as it doesn’t deny other people those same rights. So the question you need to ask is

If you decide that it’s okay for men in dresses or skirts, or maybe even suit pants, if they’re fans of Hillary or Kamala, to use the ladies or girls bathrooms, you have to accept the fact that you are also allowing sexual predators to put on a dress and sexually assault them there. That’s not a right. That’s actually a crime. You’re aiding and abetting, and you’re teaching entire generations of children against the will of their parents, that they should just assume that they will be victims and there’s nothing they can do about it.

That’s it for today.

We’ll talk to you tomorrow.
