The defamation claims in the latest lawsuit address several social media posts and statements from both Stacy Davis Gates and the union, including comments about Martinez’s past work as the district’s chief financial officer, his current competency as CEO, his understanding of contract negotiations, and whether he was pushing to close up to 100 schools.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Let’s hope Martinez prevails. They’ve put him through a wringer.
I wonder how much this is going to cost the members of the teacher’s union? Get ready for another dues increase.
