“As we are witnessing both locally and nationally, a lack of voter literacy regarding the electoral process…”
No Math skills! No Reading skills! And now the educational establishment at CPS tells us Civics is non-existent in CPS! Who is responsible for all of this nothingness? Oh yeah I forgot, it’s the stingy tax payer. Let’s pour even more money into places like Manley High.
Change the name to Bad Kids, Bad City.
Little Capones should be in prison making
License Plates.
Is this about Bring Chicago Home or isn’t it?
There are reasons to think the tax would further increase rents and property taxes. Among those who voted for the mayor, there are people who aren’t voting for the transfer tax.
Chicago teachers want t keep their students dumb so they don’t realize what they are doing.
Students dumb, what about the parents.

AND WE PAY THESE LOSERS????????????????????????????? GET RID OF ALL OF THEM!!
most of them we’re paying over +$100gs!!!
More BS from CTU.
What a pathetically immature non-response by CTU. It’s mostly ad hominem and doesn’t address the claim that kids will be taken out of school to vote as CTU is encouraging them to do.
CTU doesn’t seem to be denying IPIs allegations? But if they just yell RAUNER &TRUMP then that’s justified enough to get away with the equity hustle
If the facts aren’t on your side, you argue the law. If the law and facts aren’t on your side, you pound the table.
Send Davis-gates to prison for this. Otherwise it will never stop.
