Patrycja saw firsthand the evils of Marxism and Communism. In Poland, during Communism, there was no freedom of speech; there was no freedom of religion; there was no freedom of press. Patrycja knows, as only a survivor of Marxism can know, how rare and unbelievably valuable the freedoms given to Americans by the Founding Fathers are. She is also grateful to the soldiers who have given their lives to preserve those freedoms. Patrycja decided to run for the office of State Senator because of what is currently happening in our country. The “woke” radical Left is trying to impose its “party line” on us and is no different from the communists of the Soviet Union. They want our schools to become places of indoctrination instead of education, where our children are taught that America is evil, religion is bad, and a person’s race matters more than his or her content of character. For Patrycja, it is terrifying how familiar it all sounds. She knows it ends in tyranny. IT MUST BE STOPPED!

After 18 months of lockdowns our children are behind in reading, writing, math, and science. What is the CTU and CPS doing to help our kids? Nothing. Most of our students cannot read and write at grade level, but the current system is pushing them through high school to secure them a spot at Harvard in the name of equity.
According to the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), Chinese students rank number one in math, science and reading, while US students rank 25 amongst 78 countries. Why? The answer is simple. According to the radicals, math is racist, so we should not be teaching it.
As your State Senate representative, along with the Illinois Bill of Parental Rights, I will propose the Illinois Parental School Choice Program, allowing parents to take their tax dollars and send their kids to a school of their choosing.
