I know CPS has to shake a reputation that is 30 years old and holding strong. So I get the desire for great headlines narrative control.
The problem is there are facts, headlines, and what actual parents, students and teachers think.

@colbertlateshow Ask the tough questions and watch him Squirm
#SchoolSystemOfChoice really about #OpportunityHoarding. @ChicagosMayor not looking out for anyone who can’t afford to support him. Gentrification and political friends over education. #BYERAHM2019 #LSSC #WeAreNTA
