WATCH: Chicago Teachers Union Prez Says Testing Is 'White Supremacy' When Asked Why Students Are Failing

Twitter

Since 2012, spending for Chicago Public Schools has increased 97% and the district now spends a whopping $29,028 per student. Despite the massive amounts of money being pumped into the system, test scores and proficiency levels in reading and math have plummeted like a stone.

Don't take our word for it, here's the details from Newsweek:

The district is spending $29,028 per student in the current school year—a 97 percent increase since 2012, according to a recent analysis by Illinois Policy.

The analysis, using data from the Illinois State Board of Education about the 2022-23 school year, found proficiency in math has dropped by 78 percent since then, while proficiency in reading has declined by 63 percent.

It comes as students across the country are struggling to make up for COVID-19 losses. Nationally, they have recovered one-third of what they lost in math and one-quarter of the losses in reading, according to the Education Recovery Scorecard, an analysis of state and national test scores by researchers at Harvard and Stanford.

Here we'd like to remind you what the Chicago Teachers Union did during and after COVID, which included arguing reopening schools was 'rooted in sexism, racism, and misogyny' and -- as recently as May of this year -- making insane demands such as: fully paid abortions, 45 days off (in addition to summers), housing for illegal immigrants, a $51,000 salary increase, and more annual LGBTQ+ training.

While only 21% of students can read at grade level.

Now here's the president of the Chicago Teachers Union not taking responsibility for the abject failures of CPS, but blaming testing. Because it's racist.

The absolute gall of this woman.

She didn't go unchallenged.

It's incredibly racist for Davis Gates to say kids can't perform on tests because of their race, and we're glad this caller pushed back.

She's a hypocrite as well!

$50 billion in taxpayer dollars for kids who can't read or do math.

It's always the fault of 'white supremacists'.

It also means substandard teachers keep their jobs, even though they suck at them.

Doubtful.

We agree.

The problem isn't spending.

The problem is the CPS culture and especially the rot that is the teachers union.

We'd bet Davis Gates would argue standing out and going to college is also rooted in 'white supremacy.'

The correct choice.

We should try it and see what happens.

Shameful, really.

Because, by and large, they're Leftist radicals who want an elite class (themselves and their friends) and an underclass they can rule over.

Achievement threatens that dynamic.

Boom.
