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.
Chicago has been a destination city for gangs and international terrorists for some time – the local politicians and Gov Pritzker coddle them, so they keep coming. Chicago is also ground zero for marxism in America, with a whole host of extremist organizations managed and funded by Democrats and their supporters both domestic and international. Much, much work to be done in Chicago to rid the city of this 2-legged vermin. Not unlike the IDF removing Hamas from Gaza.
No surprise, that is all they learn in the CPS. Kids just get passed through the system and have no other opportunities but to be a gang member and live a life of crime. Businesses are taxed out of Illinois, so crime is the only growth business left in Chicago. This is going to last for a few generations to come. A generation or two lost all opportunities to achieve the American dream thanks to the CPS.
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? It’s the same quandary here.
