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.
ICE should search CPS for illegal teachers or administrators.
You just know there are illegals on staff.
They are not being taught the laws of our land. More flaws in the education system of Illinois. The new education leader will only make things worse.
Everyone needs to obey *all* the laws, or face the consequences.
Do the teachers walk out with them or just sit in the classroom and get paid ?
Is it any wonder that 25% if Cook County is illiterate.
How can they tell if there is a walk out. So many kids are absent everyday, isn’t every day a walk out? In any event, it would seem like a good opportunity for ICE to grab the illegal ones.
IDK who’s more enthused about not attending school- the supposed adults or the kids that can’t read or do math to their grade level. Bets are the kids will show up for breakfast and lunch, though.
Anchor babies and dreamers trying to keep their illegal parents in the country.
Hey kids, it’s Career Day and the visiting guests are law enforcement.
Seriously kids are being kidnapped off the street going to school, stop the lying and bullcrap you pathetic liar Sophia Lopez
Arresting lawbreakers is not kidnapping. It’s enforcing immigration laws . Which 12 years ago the Democrats were for a CLOSED BORDER!!
