CHICAGO, IL — JB For Governor released a new ad called “Superlatives,” highlighting the extreme and inaccurate curriculum being taught at the private school Darren Bailey founded.
The 30-second ad spotlights the fact that Bailey’s private school curriculum taught students that dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth at the same time, that the majority of slaveholders treated their slaves well, and that women in the workforce have been harmful to America. It also highlights Bailey’s support for banning books.
Darren Bailey’s extreme agenda has no place in our public schools. Illinois students deserve a quality education that gives them the tools necessary to build a brighter future – Darren Bailey wants to indoctrinate students with his personal, extreme values.
The ad will air on statewide broadcast.
30-Second Ad Transcript:
VOICEOVER: Every yearbook has superlatives. At the school Darren Bailey founded, he gets a lot of them.
Most likely to deny science. Bailey’s school teaches evolution isn’t real, and dinosaurs and humans were on Earth at the same time.
Most likely to rewrite history. The curriculum says the majority of slaveholders treated their slaves well, and women in the workforce have been harmful to America.
Least likely to be found in the library because Bailey supports banning books.
The most extreme?
That’s Darren Bailey.
