It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”

Pritzker may be right about the practical effect of the terrorist supporting resolution put out by Chicago. But the resolution identifies clearly how extreme the Democrats are with their Leftism.
Hmm.. Pritzger now caught up in the conundrum of pleasing his fellow Marxists while try to save face with fellow people of Jewish persuasion. If he thinks that riding the tiger is rough, wait until he falls off and is devoured.
