Ahead of DNC, Black advocacy group hammers Gov. JB Pritzker for turning ‘his back’ on Black students – FOX News

"Rather than helping Black students, Pritzker has turned his back on them by systematically underfunding their schools, denying them the high-quality public education that every child is entitled to," said Darius Jones, of the National Black Empowerment Action Fund. "This puts multiple generations of Black children who deserve a fair shot at a severe disadvantage as they are ignored by a governor who clearly has other priorities. That’s just wrong."

Blacks talk a good game, but still do the same thing by voting Democrat.

My downstate district educates students at less than half of what Chicago does and has much higher results on the school report cards. I wonder what the difference is…the Chicago System as a whole perhaps?

Fairly confident that black students are also part of the 27K(?) spent per CPS student. That they, and others, don’t learn anything is hardly a result of underfunding. Quit ignoring the single parent, lack of motivation to learn and glorification of sports and music as the only options elephant in the room.

That comment by”susan” was not written by me (‘susan’ who writes about specific policy like TIF and Illinois official regulatory nonresponse to illegal behavior by taxing bodies).

Democrats want the Black vote but give nothing in return because they don’t have to give anything. They relegate Black children to inferior schools. As long as the Black community continues to give Democrats their vote without demanding accountability, this will go on.

Vote Republican and demand that they pass school choice. Why continue the insanity?
