Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
If only the CPS would have that same mindset to close schools
The Catholic grade school I went to closed a few years ago in lake county. As the student body became mostly recent residents of the town and country. The church could no longer afford all the scholarships ( free tuition ) they were handing out.
I am grateful to this day to the sisters who taught me to read, to do math, and to consider the consequences of my actions.
Quoting a local catholic pastor, the current
immigrant community does not support the
parish or school financially as past groups
and more schools will close.
No, they certainly don’t.
