Chicago schools face Trump funding threat over DEI – The Bond Buyer

The Chicago Public Schools budget hangs in the balance as the Trump administration's Department of Education goes after diversity, equity and inclusion programming.

Sending troops to Arkansas to enforce integration provides precedent for the Federal government to use available means to encourage schools to observe constitutional rules. Rules and interpretations can change as in the court overruling Plessy.

The new Administration is giving CPS a reminder that the rules and/or interpretations have changed. Less bucks should be more palatable than buckshot.

So, spend teacher pay and perk money paying lawyers. The distance to bankruptcy will just get shorter.
