D202 has been paying Calvin Terrell far more ($12,500 per visit) on an annual basis for years now. Last year, a few parents showed up to challenge his narrative and he called us "evil" and the "devil" the following day on Facebook - simply because we dared to disagree with him. My tax dollars paying for an outsider to come to Evanston and insult me instead of engaging in a constructive debate. Don't get me wrong - I approve a lot of what D202 does. But paying for Calvin Terrell to come here for annual indoctrination sessions is plain wrong.
Regarding 2 (b), do speakers have to follow District travel policies or their own? In other words are District 65 taxpayers paying for first-class tickets and four-star hotels?
I've gotten some great feedback on this article and if you're coming to the comment section to dunk on me.. Fire away :)

“How can we monetize this?” was not my reaction. So thanks for challenging me with your out of the box thinking.
Might have been a great keynote, no way to know. Is a video posted anywhere?
