If they were really invested in equitable outcomes for kids they would be furious about how Horton fleeced the district, the increasing achievement gap, and how the district is driving money away from classrooms and into central office. It's nonsense.

Yes, this is what I'm saying! We've tried their policy prescription here and it didn't work. The disruptor guy who promised to solve all these issues just schemed us:
- He totally screwed up the Foster School Project, forget about the money: he promised the neighborhood a school and then did absolutely nothing and just left but plastered it all over his resume.
- He burned $2.5 million on a teacher residency program that absolutely screwed a bunch of mid-career Black folks trying to get into education
- He used his equity budget to give contracts to his friends, who then gave him consulting work in CPS.
- He used the capital funds to do stuff like buying fancy cars for the security team instead of .. building the Foster School.
Despite his constant insistence that he was equity forward, none of this stuff moved the ball on equity. And the Board was complicit in this by not holding him accountable at all.
