Ted was on with Drew Mariani of Relevant Radio to discuss the 2022 report from the Chicago Public Schools’ Inspector General. The report covers the flood of sexual harassment and abuse complaints that have been filed with the district since the Chicago Tribune’s 2018 investigation on sexual abuse in CPS. Ted says CPS is morally and fiscally bankrupt and dominated by an administrative elite and the radical Chicago Teachers Union.
