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.
Call it on the job training for their careers as losers when they gradimicate HS.
The people who can’t figure out how to teach kids basic reading and arithmetic by 3rd grade (and you’re mean for expecting them to!) are very sure they know how to change the world.
After the walkout the teachers will show them how to apply for unemployment benefits. No schooling no job
Nothing else to do but useless stuff. Those students will find it hard way when they are 21-22 that graduating from college with 4th grade reading skill is not a viable path to career building.
Too bad these “Marxists in educators clothing” aren’t as passionate about teaching students anything useful in life. Walking around all day moaning in return for a stipend from Soros isn’t much of a future.
Schedule it for a Saturday, kids need to be in school.
