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.
Attendance is CPS today is 300,000. Just a few years ago that number was 400,000. Children graduate unprepared for adulthood. And the CTU needs more money?
I guess the CTU is pissed that someone has pointed out all the money being spent on teachers and support staff while student test scores continue to plummet….even after Illinois lowered their test score standards. The CTU is in a race to the bottom and is heading there faster than a Stuka dive bomber.
