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.
Illinois to takeover CPS that’s funny they cannot even run the state.
CPS need to declare bankruptcy and just let the schools close there won’t be any less learning.
Why should the entire state pay for CPS schools because Chicago schools are failing because of mismanagement? There are underutilized schools still open draining funds and nothing being done to improve teaching. And as far as test scores, the rest of the state is not doing better. Schools in IL not focusing on teaching reading, math or science. Stop passing and graduating students who can’t read or do math at grade level. Neither Chicago or IL are doing anything to improve education.
My first reaction was “it can’t be any worse.” Then I remembered this is Illinois, so it could be.
Pity the children and the society they will create thanks to inadequate educational opportunities.
Add to more bad new for old CTU/Brando & crew when this BLACK- south side Hyde Park lib, rep Tarver, has apparently had enough of the s-show along with everyone else. Never heard of rep Tarver, but he seems like an articulate guy.
Even J.B. isn’t this dumb. Or is he?
