Illinois governor JB Pritzker didn’t hold back during his fiery speech at the Illinois Federation of Teachers’ 2025 Convention 🔥
His speech took aim for Trump’s administration, specifically targeting the Republican government’s education strategy.
He said: “Books are being banned. History is being erased. Republicans want to take billions away from public schools and pump it into private institutions. They want to punish teachers for telling the truth. They want to criminalize educators for supporting LGBTQ students. They want to turn classrooms into cultural war battlegrounds. And I’m sorry to be vulgar, but Donald Trump and his cronies can f**k all the way off.”
His speech was met with cheers from the crowd.
Pritzker, a long-time ally of the LGBTQ+ community, has previously signed laws protecting trans students, banned conversion therapy for minors, and expanded access to gender-affirming healthcare in Illinois.
