‘I am praying for justice for Cate and all the girls whose rights have been so callously disregarded,’ a local mother says

The Illinois school district that faced national scrutiny for allegations of forcing middle school girls to change in the same locker room as a transgender student has been referred to the Department of Justice.
The law firm America First Legal (AFL) made the criminal referral of the district Deerfield Public Schools 109 to the DOJ on Tuesday, urging the department to investigate the district and middle school where the allegations occurred for potential violations of federal and state law.
AFL alleged the district violated Code § 241, also known as the “Conspiracy against rights” statute, which makes it a federal crime for two or more people to conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured by the Constitution or laws.
“We ask that your office promptly open a directed criminal investigation into the allegations in the complaint for violations of § 241, take all actions necessary,” the complaint reads.
AFL senior counselor Ian Prior advocated for a criminal investigation in a statement.
“The situation at Deerfield Public Schools has gone beyond a Title IX violation and has escalated to a situation that requires the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division to launch a criminal investigation. Students should not have their First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendment Rights sacrificed at the altar of radical transgender madness and the woke government bureaucrats that view the Constitution as nothing more than toilet paper should face the long arm of our Justice Department,” Prior said.
The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights announced in late March that it was launching an investigation into the Illinois Department of Education, the Chicago Public School District 299 and Deerfield Public Schools District 109 over reported Title IX violations.
Illinois mother Nicole Georgas brought the situation to light when she filed a civil rights complaint with the Justice Department after alleging that school administrators had attempted to force her 13-year-old daughter to change in front of a transgender student in the girls’ locker room last month.

We all better pray for justice since it appears the Democratic machine will ballot harvest its way to taking a school board seat from Karam by the time Barrington’s farce of a school board election finally concludes. We can expect Deerfield actions in Barrington without some reasoned voices on our board and it will be the students and their parents who will pay the price.
If ballot harvesting occurred, why did Steve Wang get 400 more votes than Karam, when they were both in the top 4 candidates? Would they also not have ballot harvested enough to oust the Barrington Township Clerk?
No idea what you’re talking about, Old Timer, & not sure you do either. But there is plenty of evidence that Srivistava was specifically endorsed & supported by the Democratic Party. Mailers sent just before election day literally begged for votes just for her in this election, singularly identifying her as a democratic candidate who “is counting on your vote”, see Dem website https://votelocalil.com/ Flyers paid for by the Democratic Party urged democratic voters to turn in their vote by mail for Srivistava and gave direction on doing so. This is a non-partisan election and these actions are disgusting to say the least.
I just love it here in Florida! Few Demi-rats!
