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.
Translation:
Universities are in on the scam. They will gladly accept government-funded tuition payments from these students, and reward them with a degree in Gender Studies.
Can the students sign their name to a debt that will never be repaid? Well then they are college ready.
Pritzker is lowering the education standards because he wants to run for president. It won’t look good nationally if he is governor of a state with a failed public school system.
Colleges need students for tuition revenue, so many colleges will take even the students who graduated high school not learning how to tie their shoes.
