Illinois Family Institute Dangerously Misguiding

The Illinois Family Institute apparently is filled with ignorant people. Consider a passage from one of their articles:

The DOS requires that teachers either create activities around or exempt silent students from any activity that involves speaking.

[...]

Higgins further emphasizes that "The worthy end of eliminating harassment does not justify the means of exploiting instructional time." The First Amendment already allows DOS participants to wear t-shirts or put up posters, but according to a document co-written by the ACLU and Lambda Legal, a "school can regulate what students say. . . and it can also insist that students respond to questions, make presentations, etc." Students and teachers should not be allowed to exploit instructional time to advance their socio-political goals.

The irony is that they have already acknowledged that students can be required to answer questions during school time, and yet they still argue that teachers are "required" to "create activities around or exempt silent students" from classroom activities!

Clearly, a treatise in gross ignorance.
