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.

Gosh, it looks like my property tax dollars are being misspent yet again. When will it ever end…….
So proud of these young people!
Why?
Young people have the right to protest. They are inheriting this messed up administration, and this appalling situation. This isn’t a ‘day off’…they are rightly calling out wrong when they see it.
Yeah…it is totally a day off. Where did they get those nice printed “Hands Off Chicago” signs? From their 3 color printing press in their basement? Perhaps they got them in the School, from a teacher or the district? Were these students explained the entire issue, financial social impacts of mass immigration, how it is impacting western nations all over the world, how assimilation into a new culture is needed, taught how to research or check their position and then debate the issue? Of course not. They were handed signs and told to go stand in front of the school… Read more »
What a perfect time to educate children about the laws and history of our country. All these children were born well after 9/11 and have no clue what happened. The first attempt on the Twin Towers, the terrorists later infiltrating our country, taking flying lessons and destroying the Twin Towers, attacking the pentagon. Then America demanding strengthening our border and immigration laws including creating ICE to enforce the Homeland Security Act of 2002. Ninety senators voted for that law including Sen Durbin!
Yep, but doesn’t it say something about the education these kids are getting, when they don’t have a clue about 9/11 and no idea of the past attacks and insidious plots to damage the US and simply kill as many Americans as they can? It illustrates what they are NOT being taught and is the absence of the understanding of Government or History… on purpose? Why in the world wouldn’t a high school student have a required class or two on US government and History? And, if they do, what in the hell are they being taught if 9/11, world… Read more »
Hmmm… a walk out by high school students and they happen to have premade signs. Seems orchestrated.
Maybe schools should start teaching, not indoctrinating and brainwashing students. If schools and teachers actually focused on educating students, tests scores would go up and the students would have a fighting chance to achieve success as adults. How many union teachers send their kids to private schools?
A walkout happened a couple weeks ago in the People’s Republic of Oak Park, the adult “marshals” being far left agitator parents, including an elected Oak Park trustee (but not the same one who is federally indicted for obstructing ICE) and a guy and his whistle who”d previously been chasing ICE around in his car and was briefly detained before being released. Must be a far left status symbol to be briefly detained, with an arrest being an even bigger merit badge.

Another day off of school for poorly educated students that are two years behind. Perhaps Mayor Idiot used them to shill for votes like Lightfoot tried to?
Future paid protesters.
None of the protestors against ICE are paid. Stop spreading lies
Perfect example of the INDOCTRINATION OF STUDENTS under the CONTROL of CTU !!
Learn as much or more walking the streets as attending CPS..
Good thing they’re getting used to standing on their feet. No education, no job . They’ll be ready to stand in unemployment lines waiting to live off the government tit
Was this a field trip for them? Love to know what teachers and administrator were involved with this? Did they take school buses for this photo opt with the Dem politicians.
I wonder how many of these kids had ancestors who fought in the Civil War. I wonder if any of them could name even two Civil War battles.
