As the season of commencement ceremonies winds down and collegiate graduates go off to make their way in the world, I would like to recognize the Chicago Nine for giving us the CPS Six.A commentary worth a read and scrutiny.
The Chicago Nine are the nine Chicago Democrats who run Illinois--into the ground. They control more than $70 billion worth of government and 125,000 public sector jobs, including the billions of dollars spent and tens of thousands of jobs funded at the Chicago Public Schools.
The CPS Six are the six of every 100 freshman in the Chicago Public School system--a system of 400,000 children--who will go on to earn a bachelor's degree by the age of 25.
It is only through their tenacious commitment to the status quo that the Chicago Nine have managed to keep CPS students' success to such a manageable rate.
