Each single considered one of these Democrats pleasure themselves on being on the aspect of “the nice.” It’s their bread and butter. It’s what they promote. They arrive into my impoverished, violent however, on the identical time, a proud working-class neighborhood and so they inform us, I stand with the Blacks, the minorities, the ladies, the impoverished, the marginalized, and so forth. In the event that they stand with us, then why are so a lot of our youngsters failing to learn to learn?
Studying is the whole lot. It’s a very powerful factor a baby can be taught and develop over his or her scholastic profession. Studying is what opens doorways and creates alternatives. Studying is data and that’s what fills empty souls with goal and brings them to life. Why then is studying not even a precedence for the Democrats in my metropolis?

They’re not dwelling on Mars; they know these numbers. They run the Chicago Teachers Union. If this neglect shouldn’t be intentional, then it’s prison.
