Ah! More free entertainment from the Temple of Denial.
My first impulse upon reading edgy's title was to inquire aloud if the Temple's new proposals were written either in crayon, in complete sentences or both.
Unwilling to give the Temple the benefit of the doubt on, well, anything, recognizing the Temple cleverly advanced these motions in the wake of the state football finals, particularly after an acrimonious lawsuit challenged the Temple's absence of an appeal policy, and intimately familiar with the Temple's scheming methods, I chuckled at the idea these motions were proposals awaiting approval from an enthusiastic general membership.
Let me tell you something: These proposals may appear anodyne, but one action point is scarcely being advanced to alleviate pain or ensure fairness. In contrast, it is a very forceful warning to new administrators.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the IHSA's bombastic illusions, I marvel in the opportunity to translate for you. Wittily hidden among the rubble of motions is number four, which I will dissect.
Proposal four states: "Requires a new high school principal to attend a workshop or view an online presentation developed by the IHSA for new school administrators."
This is the Temple infiltrating our cultural institutions to suppress dissension in the earliest stages when the minds of fresh-faced administrators are most fertile.
This workshop or online presentation is far from a "introductory" lesson seeking to acquaint new administrators to the Temple's practices and policies. On the contrary, it is the Temple's method of indoctrinating new high-school principals or other administrators and an implicit signal the Temple has discarded its old habit of waiting for complaints brought about by such administrators by instructing them in their embryonic stage.
With this gambit, the Temple is issuing orders to the next generation of administrators, instructing them they had better equivocate prior to challenging the Temple and the chamberlains who serve the governing system.
While it reads harmlessly, the online program or workshop is akin to a Cold War era, Communist political re-education camp often found in some tin-pot dictatorship. What is missing from this setting are typhus-ridden prison camps in some banana republic, complete with "Red" guards sporting AKs, red stars affixed to their jungle caps, chains, mass starvation and PA systems shrieking anti-capitalist blather.
Masters in the trafficking of propaganda, this new decree is another con job by the Temple and the triumph of glitz over reality.

The proposed changes were published by the IHSA on November 1st. There is a process that is outlined in the notice on the IHSA website. The timing did not work for the change you are looking to implement. I wonder who will be the school to bring forward the change to the bylaws
A total of 18 by-law amendment proposals were received prior to the October 11 deadline from official representatives of IHSA member schools.
The IHSA Legislative Commission will review the proposals at its first meeting on Monday, November 7. Then the proposals will be discussed at town meetings held at various sites throughout the state between November 10 and 22. The Commission will reassemble on Monday, November 28, to decide whether to submit each of the 18 proposals to a vote of the general membership. The final vote by IHSA member schools will take place between November 30 and December 30.
Typical, a glaring deficiency in the current bylaws is identified, rather than remedy it or attempt to remedy, hide behind process for an additional year.
