Ten candidates seeking four seats on the Lincoln-Way High School District 210 Board debate whether state guidelines push an ideology on issues of race, sexual education and books in schools.
Sandoval and Olejnik are among 10 candidates running for four seats on the District 210 Board.
The Lincoln-Way Education Association is backing Richard LaCien Jr., the only incumbent running, and Olejnik, Catherine Johnson and Dana Bergthold. LaCien and Johnson did not respond to multiple requests for comment or photos. Topor, the owner of ProCore Fitness in New Lenox, said she would make sure the board does not pass “any political policies from our federal government” when asked about teaching race in school.
“To teach kids that based on what color they are that’s how they’re going to make it in life is just a huge disservice to our future generation,” Sambo said.Sandoval and Sambo said beyond the biology of sex, teachers should not talk to students about other aspects of sexual expression. The focus of sex education, Bergthold said, is to inform students there are different perspectives on sexuality and gender identity. The purpose is not to force an idea on students, she said.
Quinlan and Topor both said the discussion of banning books is different between elementary school and high school. But they both said parents should know what their students are reading and discuss certain topics at home.
