A student whistleblower just leaked lecture materials from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
What they found should terrify every parent in America.
Future teachers aren’t learning how to teach math. They’re not learning classroom management. They’re not learning curriculum design.
They’re learning that the term “illegal immigrant” is “dehumanizing.” That Trump brought “white supremacy and xenophobia.” That silence in classrooms is caused by racism.
This is EDUC 201 — “Identity and Difference in Education.” A required course for first-semester education students.
This is how teachers are made.
“No Human Being Is Illegal” — The Opening Slide
The week 15 lesson was titled “Living in Uncertainty: Understanding Immigrant, Migrant, & Refugee Student Populations.”
The first slide? A photo of an activist holding a sign that reads “No human being is illegal.”
Not an analysis of immigration policy. Not a balanced discussion of different perspectives. An activist sign. As the opening image. In a required course.
The message to future teachers is clear: This is the position you’re expected to hold.
Your Language Will Be Policed
Slide five is called “Language Matters.”
It instructs students to “embrace using humanizing language when talking about immigrant communities that don’t have documentation.”
Translation: Say “undocumented,” not “illegal.”
Using terms like “illegal immigrants,” “illegal aliens,” or “illegals” is harmful, the slide claims. It’s “dehumanizing and degrading.” It “reinforces negative stereotypes.” It “connects immigration with criminality.”
Except… entering the country illegally is, by definition, criminal. That’s what “illegal” means.
But future teachers are being trained to hide that reality behind euphemisms.
The Professor’s Own Anti-Trump Research
Slide 17 features a study co-authored by the professor, Gabriel Rodriguez.
The title: “‘This is What I go Through:’ Latinx Youth Facultades in Suburban Schools in the Era of Trump.”
The study explicitly references “White supremacy and xenophobia brought on by… Trump.”
The professor is teaching his own research that blames the former (and current) president for white supremacy. In a required course. For future teachers.
This isn’t education. It’s indoctrination.
Teaching Students How to Obstruct ICE
The presentation includes slides instructing future educators on “how to deal with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in a school setting.”
Not how to comply with federal law. How to deal with federal law enforcement.
Schools are being turned into sanctuaries. Future teachers are being trained to obstruct immigration enforcement. And it’s happening in required courses at public universities.
The Whistleblower Explains What It’s Really Like
The student who leaked the materials told Fox News Digital exactly how the indoctrination works:
“In the lectures, my professor would constantly say, ‘you as educators, you as future educators, you need to do this, you need to know this.’ That’s one thing that he says, just over and over, like ‘we as future educators,’ kind of reminding us like, oh, we need to use this when we go to teach later on.”
It’s not presented as one perspective among many. It’s presented as professional obligation.
You will use this language. You will hold these beliefs. You will teach this way.
Or you won’t become a teacher.
“I Haven’t Actually Learned Anything About Education”
The whistleblower made a devastating observation:
“So far, I haven’t actually learned anything for education about, like, how to set up a classroom, what methods work best with kids for learning — just like basic curriculum that kids are going to be taught, like math and science. There’s nothing of that that I’ve been taught.”
A required education course. For first-semester students. Teaching nothing about actual education.
Just ideology. Just activism. Just how to be a good leftist in the classroom.
No wonder American students can’t read or do math. Their teachers were never taught how to teach those subjects.
Silence Is Racism — Another Week’s Lesson
Week 8 covered “the implicit meanings of silence in the classroom.”
The thesis? When students are quiet, it might be because of racial or sex-based discrimination.
One slide defines “Internalized Oppression” as “assumed racial inferiority on the part of people of color.”
Another asks students to “think about how students with minoritized identities (e.g., race, gender, sexuality) are silenced by peers and educators.”
The whistleblower had a different explanation for classroom silence: “I was quiet in school growing up, not because of racism or sexism, but simply because of my personality.”
But that common-sense explanation doesn’t fit the narrative.
The “Microaggressions” Training
Future teachers are also learning about “microaggressions” — defined as “everyday verbal, nonverbal slights, snubs, or insults regardless of intent that sends a hostile, derogatory, or negative message.”
“Regardless of intent.”
You can commit a microaggression without meaning to. Without knowing it. The victim’s perception is what matters, not your intention.
This is what teachers are learning. This is the lens through which they’ll view every classroom interaction.
Anecdotes Presented as Evidence
The presentations feature anecdotes from supposed high school students — presented without clear sourcing or verification.
One story involves “Joaquín,” who claims people ignored him because of his race.
Another involves “Lissette,” who claims white students cut her off and delegated tasks to her during group work on “The Great Gatsby.”
These unverified anecdotes are presented as evidence of systemic racism. Future teachers are being trained to interpret every student interaction through a racial lens.
The Fake Immigration Numbers
The presentation claims there are only 13.7 million illegal aliens in the United States, citing PBS News.
A 2018 Yale study — using an “extremely conservative model” — estimated between 16 and 29 million, with a mean of 22.1 million. And that was before four years of Biden’s open borders.
But future teachers are being given lowball numbers that minimize the scope of illegal immigration.
The framing matters. Smaller numbers make the problem seem manageable. Larger numbers make it seem like a crisis.
Guess which framing serves the ideological agenda?
This Is a Required Course
The whistleblower emphasized a crucial point:
“This class was required and this is like one of the first education classes I’m taking.”
Required. Not elective. Not optional.
If you want to become a teacher at the University of Illinois, you must sit through lectures blaming Trump for white supremacy. You must learn to call illegal immigrants “undocumented.” You must accept that silence is racism.
There’s no alternative. There’s no opting out. This is the gateway.
The University Didn’t Respond
Fox News Digital contacted the University of Illinois for comment.
They didn’t respond.
Of course they didn’t. What could they say? The slides speak for themselves.
What Your Kids’ Teachers Are Learning
This is happening at universities across America.
Future teachers are being trained in ideology, not pedagogy. They’re learning to see racism everywhere, to police language, to obstruct law enforcement, to blame Republicans for white supremacy.
Then they graduate. They get jobs in your local schools. They teach your children.
And you wonder why your kid comes home talking about microaggressions instead of multiplication.
The pipeline is exposed. The slides are public. The indoctrination is documented.
The question is: What are we going to do about it?
