President Trump has been in office a total of 19 days, right?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

I’m sure they’re futurecasting the reduction of future “gimme that’s”

Blaming O, out of the question, as was taking responsibility for their own actions.

My guess is that it costs around 20,000 per student to school these kids. And it is still not enough. Meanwhile the Lutheran School my youngest attended is a little over a third of that.

There is no level so low that the Dems won’t stoop to

[butlerweave]

The parents should it back saying we never accept Junk Mail

[rey]

Has anyone seen a copy of this letter?

[dforest]

They most likely are pissed because Chicago is a Sanctuary City and they use fed bucks to support these illegals. Trump has said they will cut funds to sanctuary cities.

[jacknhoo]

The Trump administration is, hopefully, going abolish Dept. Of Education. They’re terrified.

[Chgogal]

I live in Chicago. This is typical rabid Teachers’ Union behavior. Another example that I witnessed in January 2013. I New Jersey Teach Union Officer told me (she thought I was an Obama supporter) told me they used ALL their union due monies to defeat Christy. Teachers hand over their hard earned money to The Union and The Union wastes it on political elections.

[A CA Guy]

That is so illegal and sets these people up to lawsuits as well. It’s firing time.

Public schools are Satan’s American masterpiece.
Get over it.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Wonder if one looked at CPS management, if one would find an “cheating” of the children in the form of wasteful mismanagement of school district funds, over priced school executives, etc.?

[Lockbox]

Yep, no problem in Chicago schools until Trump became President. Damn Trump works fast!

[Secret Agent Man]

This is total socialism/dialectic/delphi texhnique propaganda.

19 days. Well they dont waste time lying big.

[Deplorable American1776]

Public schools is evidence #1 that kids should be homeschooled. Betty DeVos needs to tell schools that indoctrination is not part of the curriculum. If they want to indoctrinate school children, let the local taxpayers pay for it, NOT THE TAXPAYERS IN OTHER AREAS.

[blueplum]

What?! Chicago has taxed the dickens out of rich Chicago peeps and there’s still not enough money to pay for public schools? Say it ain’t so.

“This is so inappropriate,” a parent who contacted the station said. “How can [CPS CEO Forrest Claypool] send political propaganda home?”

Simple.

A team of taxpayer-funded staff members, probably secretaries or admin assistants, spent X number of hours/days killing any number of trees photocopying the propaganda letter that they then patiently had electronically-signed and envelope-stuffed by those same secretaries/admin assistants, into envelopes paid for by tax-payer dollars using postage paid for by tax-payers dollars, and sent home to you evil Republican/Deplorable/Ignorant-and-Unaware-so-it's-not-really-Your-fault voters/taxpayers, informing you of how foolish your elected officials are for not toe-ing the Democrat/Socialist/education Union party line. Whew.

As to the actual words printed on that piece of paper, are the voters/parents really that surprised/offended to the extent that they will stop drinking the Kool-Aid offered by the proponents of Publik Edumacation in the state of Illinois?

Remains to the seen.

“Rather than cutting services and creating a crisis to help justify a campaign to raise taxes in Springfield, it would be helpful to everyone if CPS would work with all parties to enact a balanced budget package that includes comprehensive pension reform and a new and equitable school funding formula,” Illinois Secretary of Education Beth Purvis wrote, WGN reported.

But from this rather weak and toothless reply by the Illinois SofEd, I highly doubt it. With elected and un-elected bureaucrats like these . . .

[Gene Eric]

The Democrat Thug Party.

[Proyecto Anonimo]

Trump should take their 381K Obamaphones.

[Jim Noble]

I think they all do this.

In the 1980s, to protest budget “cuts” in my son’s wealthy suburban school (the “cut” was, of course, a 5% increase instead of a 7% increase), the teachers had the kids write letters to their parents saying that, unless the “cuts” were reversed, there would be no food for the classroom pet rabbit Bundles, so Bundles would have to be killed.

True dat. And the DOE wasn’t even five years old by then.

Drain the swamp.
