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.
The system is doing exactly what it is designed to do.
This is the politicians fault. They are bought off with CTU campaign contributions and allowing them to make the rules. Both the politicians and the CTU are letting the students down and the parents should step up and do something about it
I think the type of parent you are asking to step up has already stepped up and out. CPS is just another babysitting service for those who don’t qualify for library cards.
CTU will not allow near empty schools to be closed. CPS does not have a spine to stand up to CTU and behave fiscally responsible.
All about KEEPING THOSE NOT UNION JOBS ON THE PAYROLL!! Not about EDUCATING THE STUDENTS as the results show
