Well Mummies & Mansters tonight I am infuriated at the propaganda of an anti-Illuminati group that has claimed our beloved guys & ghouls at Monster High are brainwashing the youth of America with symbolism of the Illuminati.
First, let us define the word Illuminati....
The Illuminati (plural of Latin illuminatus, "enlightened") is a name given to several groups, both real and fictitious. Historically the name refers to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on May 1, 1776 to oppose superstition, prejudice, religious influence over public life, abuses of state power, and to support women's education and gender equality. The Illuminati—along with other secret societies—were outlawed by the Bavarian ruler, Charles Theodore, with the encouragement of the Roman Catholic Church, and permanently disbanded in 1785.[1] In the several years following, the group was vilified by conservative and religious critics who claimed they had regrouped and were responsible for the French Revolution.
In subsequent use, "Illuminati" refers to various organizations claiming or purported to have unsubstantiated links to the original Bavarian Illuminati or similar secret societies, and often alleged to conspire to control world affairs by masterminding events and planting agents in government and corporations to establish a New World Order and gain further political power and influence. Central to some of the most widely known and elaborate conspiracy theories, the Illuminati have been depicted as lurking in the shadows and pulling the strings and levers of power in dozens of novels, movies, television shows, comics, video games and music videos.
So how does all of this apply to the student bodies? Well, first you'd have to try not laugh your head off or burst at the seams reading this article posted on Vigilant Citizen.
If you manage to make it back let us now define Monster High....
Monster High is an American fashion doll franchise created by Mattel in July, 2010. The characters are inspired by monster movies, sci-fi horror, thriller fiction, and various creatures therefore distinguishing them from most fashion dolls. They were created by Garrett Sander, with illustrations by Kellee Riley and illustrator Glen Hanson.
The Monster High franchise also includes other consumer products such as stationery, bags, key chains, various toys and video games. There are also Monster High TV specials, a web series, a direct to DVD movie, and software. Lisi Harrison & Gitty Daneshvari are the authors of the Monster High books. The characters are depicted as being either related to or as offspring of famous monsters such as Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, the Mummy, Medusa, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Phantom of the Opera, and zombies and more. The characters are usually referred to as ghouls, rather than girls.
Let us dig deeper into our student body...
Frankie Stein (voiced by Kate Higgins) - Frankie is the daughter of Frankenstein's monster and the Bride of Frankenstein. When first introduced she was 15 days old (her age is assumed to have gone up as days passed). Clumsy, polite, kind, and a good friend to have and be around, Frankie has black and white hair in the show, but in the novel it is black (except when she is at the monster-themed dance), and her body is held together by stitches and has neck bolts. She is considered the new ghoul in school and eager to make friends. She is no longer considered the new ghoul in school because she has been a character for about a year now. This character has heterochromia, two different colored eyes and hair.

His whole family can turn anything to stone. He has a passion for cooking, but he keeps it a secret from most other students. He is the captain of the casketball team and loves skateboarding. Deuce is shown to be friendly, outgoing, confident, and with many friends. He is dating Cleo de Nile. He wears sunglasses to prevent him from turning other people to stone temporarily and has green snakes on his head.

At age 16 (in monster years), she is said to be the 'smartest ghoul in school', and can only speak the "Zombie" language (consisting of moans and groans).

She can go through walls, and practice 'ghost-limitations', such as having things not go through her.
In the next few days I will be reaching out to the cast and Monster High community for educated responses to the article posted above and expect a huge increase in activity on this post based solely on the fact that these so-called vigilant citizens seem like nothing more than people who have way too much time on their hands to look for hidden messages that are merely a coincidence of designs. The stitches and scars on the ghouls are simply showing our children that acceptance is key. The image of the one eye are seem often but when I was in high school it seemed eyes were everywhere on us as students. Furthermore, Monster High is about accepting and embracing our unique differences.
Hence our motto....
Be Unique,
Be Yourself,
Be your own MONSTER!
