Children from poorer Chicago areas are still less likely to attend top-performing high schools, despite CPS efforts to even the playing field, new report finds – Chicago Tribune*
“Our analysis of applications data finds that Black students are less likely to apply to a high-performance high school compared to their non-Black peers, and this ultimately translates into different rates of enrollment in high-performance schools by student race/ethnicity,” according to the report, which notes similar but smaller differences between students living in neighborhoods with different socioeconomic statuses.
Statistical gobblygoop trying to make systemic racism a real thing and push the failed concept of “busing” even more. Location demographics explains it much easier and the fact there are not enough white kids to go around.
I am far more upset by the lack of asian and midget basket-ball players, blind taxi-drivers, and female plumbers. That all looks pretty systemic too.
Between the 1900s-1950s, there were good and bad Chicago Public Schools. Back then, Chicago was predominately White too. ?
In the 1950s, Tuley (now Clemente) was White. Wells was Black. Both were considered bad then. ?
Unlike September 1977, when busing began to whenever it ended, Blacks aren’t always seeking to attend White schools, some of which are good, deluxe or bad. ?

The black population doesn’t get into the top schools because they are totally academically unqualified. They are lazy, don’t go to school, and are interested in being nba stars or rap artists. And the CTU is totally incompetent as well. They have been on a paid vacation for a year as Lori tried to buy them to work on her campaign.
So, what’s your answer to such things—preferential treatment based on race? And, as for CTU, maybe we should just go back to the way school teachers were hired in rural America before WW II. You or a relative get elected to the school board and hire your not-always college-grad relatives as teachers in the local district. Who needs best-qualified when close and place-bound applicants will work good enough and likely for less, too? Costs go down, and most local high school grads don’t plan on going to college anyway in rural America or CPS even all these years later.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
