Lightfoot picks San Antonio superintendent, Benito Juarez grad Pedro Martinez as new CPS CEO – WGNTV (Chicago)

A Mexico native who moved to Chicago when he was 5 years old, Pedro Martinez worked under former CPS CEO Arne Duncan as a financial advisor before his move to San Antonio. There, he implemented COVID-19 vaccination mandates - which Texas Gov. Greg Abbott banned public entities from doing.

I wish Martinez much success. “He proved to everyone that, in a district where 93% of students live in poverty, he and they working together can deliver rising education outcomes,” Lightfoot said.”
Poverty rates in public schools are extremely high because almost every family with means does anything they can to keep their own children out of non-magnate public schools, which have become indoctrination centers and baby-sitting institutions exclusively designed to accommodate illegal immigrants and the poor.

Being associated with Duncan should immediately disqualify his offer. Bring back BBB, she’s probably more trustworthy.

Lori is criticized for not having enough latinos in her administration. So she travels the world to find Pedro Martinez.

His qualifications for superintendent of CPS? 1. He looks like a conquistador; and 2. He defied (R) TX Gov. Abbott and mandated vaccines as Sup. of the San Antonio school district. This just goes to show how fake and stupid diversity requirements are. But lookie here, 50% of CPS students are hispanic and it is important that they are represented by a white guy with a Spanish surname!

I would have hand picked Juan Valdez. At least he has a steaming hot cup of coffee and a nice burro.
