And once again, im sure, another bill dreamed up by teachers unions and sponsored by some pay-to-play union due donations to campaign fund lackie that jb will sign off on in a heart beat with ZERO funding to local school districts to pay for?. Just like the education covid paid sick day deal….just leave it up to local school district taxpayers/ prop tax payers to pay for?? But your getting your 2 cents off on a gl of gas so your down-on-the-farm happy!!

Chicago needs more champions of literacy like Willie Wilson – Wirepoints

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.”
