Chicago’s mayoral candidates should obsess about actual results. About making sure far more than 1 out of every 10 black CPS students can read at grade level. – Wirepoints on AM 560 Chicago’s Morning Answer

Ted was on Chicago’s Morning Answer with Dan and guest Charles Thomas to talk about why Chicago’s mayoral candidates are actively avoiding the real issues that are crippling the black community and Wirepoints’ new report that shows not a single student is able to read at grade level in 30 Illinois schools.
