Expand Awake Illinois founder Shannon Adcock announced her bid for the Indian Prairie District 204 School board this week. The announcement comes two days after her organization and the parents rights group she chairs, Mothers for Liberty, hosted a school board candidate training program in Des Plaines — an event that drew protesters opposed to the organizations' positions on several issues, including diversity curriculum. Saturday's workshop was led by the Virginia-based Leadership Institute, a nonprofit founded by Morton Blackwell, to teach conservative candidates how build successful campaigns.
