Events
Join us April 21st for a special screening of “Killing America: Can America’s Schools’ Be Saved?”
Award-winning filmmaker Eli Steele (“How Jack Became Black” and “What Killed Michael Brown”) will be at the AMC Northbrook Theaters, Sunday, April 21st, (4-6 pm) for a screening and live panel discussion of his latest film “Killing America.” Click here for tickets.
The short-form documentary follows the impact of Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) at the upscale Menlo Atherton High School in California, including the lowering of standards, the ending of merit-based education and the dramatic increase of ugly anti-Semitism, especially in the wake of the October 7th attack on Israel by Hamas.
After the 40-minute film, writer/director Eli Steele, David Bernstein of the Jewish Institute of Liberal Values, and Pastor Corey Brooks of Project HOOD, will be part of an all-star panel. All are welcome! Bring friends who may be new to the concept of DEI and the influence it is having on education and our communities.
The film was recently released on YouTube and Vimeo but taken down due to complaints by the Menlo Atherton school newspaper (which run by students, overseen by teachers) and a student, all of whom complained of copyright violations. Eli Steele is a veteran filmmaker, well aware of Fair Use rules, and calls the removal of the film “weaponized censorship.“
Bottom line – right now the only place you’ll see the film in Chicago is at this special screening.
