Yep. Once the district is burned down to a skeleton of an education they will have a new building but that is about it. That will harm the kids that need the most help. How they can't see the forest through the trees is nuts. These cuts will need to be huge and will be painful. It will be like Covid-- parents with means will hire tutors,…
Yep. Once the district is burned down to a skeleton of an education they will have a new building but that is about it. That will harm the kids that need the most help. How they can't see the forest through the trees is nuts. These cuts will need to be huge and will be painful. It will be like Covid-- parents with means will hire tutors, take private music lessons, move or attend private school while other families will be stuck with a shell of school district. Nothing about this is equitable.
This is the logical culmination of an identity politics ideology animated by grift.
It is an Evanston version of Trumpism: make decisions based on grievance, demonize opponents and others based on identity categories, deprioritize competence and experience in favor of ideological purity, throw fiscal prudence out the window and engage in petty grift, ignore the whole purpose of public service in a diverse community.
There is little substantive distance between Trump and Tanyavutti, Joey, Sergio, Biz, etc....
It’s fine if you want to hate on Trump, after all this is Evanston. But Trump would hate everything that Tanyavutti, Joey, Sergio, Biz and Horton stand for. He would have fired them all!!
Trump pardoned Kwame Kilpatrick, the original politician that basically inspired this whole project (my journalistic approach is modeled after the amazing journalists that wrote about Kilpatrick in Detroit, circa 2008). Kilpatrick was a bad dude and did not deserve that pardon. He pardoned Blago too.
100% Trump would be a Horton fan. If Horton ends up in jail and Trump as president, he should apply for a pardon.

Trump would love Horton. He respects a solid grift. Game knows game.
