The Illinois Family Institute is presenting documentary film "The Mind Polluters" on Tuesday.

The Tinley Park-based association is holding the film screening at 7 p.m. at the Christian Liberty Academy, located at 502 W. Euclid Ave. in Arlington Heights.

“The Illinois Family Institute presents a powerful investigative documentary film about the graphic Comprehensive Sex Ed and Social Emotional Learning being forced on children of all ages through the public education system,” the group said in a press release. 

Attendees are asked to sign up in advance.

The Illinois Family Institute said the film explores the origins and the extent of alternative lifestyles being introduced to children at a young age.

“'The Mind Polluters’ is a feature length investigative documentary film that follows the efforts of grassroots volunteers, legislators and Christian academics exposing the efforts of corrupt organizations and groups infiltrating the nation’s school systems with pornographic and pedo-sadist (pedophilia) materials,” IFI said in a press release. 

“The film not only shows the brutal battle being waged right now to force both public and private school systems to indoctrinate children as young as pre-school age with materials so heinous that they are illegal everywhere else except in the classroom, it also explores the history of the pornography battle in the United States for the past 75 years.”

The showing comes days after the Harlem High School removed the infamous book Gender Queer from the school’s collection, Rockford Sun reported.

"It’s porn," Lynette Hofman said, according to WIFR. "We're talking incest, molestation and pedophilia."  

The book, which includes drawn drawings of graphic sex scenes, has gotten a lot of press. Parents throughout the country have denounced Kobabe's illustrations as being excessively sexual and inappropriate for children.

One of the meeting attendees read a section from the book aloud.

"This is from 'Gender Queer.' ‘I got a new strap-on harness today,’" said one public commenter. "‘I can’t wait to put it on you.'"

The school oversees more than 1,500 students at its Machesney Park campus, according to U.S. News.
