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.
CTU is a political activist group, and should be designated as such. They stopped being an education labor union years ago. CTU doesn’t care about students or education. They are about power and politics only. Chicago students need a real teacher’s union who are about fighting for improving education.
And that’s how we have that idiot in the mayors office.
It is legal bribery, the CTU is a kind of mafia extorting the taxpayers.
Does anyone think they will support TED, no chance in hell they will support a fiscally responsible candidate.
Not only does Chicago have the most gang members of any city in the US, it also has the most con artists of any city. That’s my theory anyway. CTU perpetrates a huge con job on the taxpayers. Money from taxpayers is drained, and CTU delivers little to zero in return.
Horrendous. I guess what the Politburo wants, the Politburo gets.
