An amazing story from @SSKedreporter highlighting the Student Voice work led by @CPSCivicLife. So many moving examples on the impact of students having their voices heard. #studentvoice wbez.org/stories/chicago-pub…

Black Chicago, let’s check our attitudes on migrants

I cringe when I hear Black folks spew anti-immigrant rhetoric. We know what it’s like to be “otherized” and accused of taking something away from another group.

I just love the design of our animated series #YoungLove that our art director Ed Li created. We really tried to showcase the architecture of Chicago with the two-flats and three-flats that are featured so prominently on the west and south sides of the city.

The results of the 2022 @NAEP_NCES #Civics Assessment reflect differing school-based civic learning opportunities across various demographics. We must ensure each and every student in the United States has access to high-quality civic education. #CivXNow

Here's my take on #ChicagoMayoralElection and what Johnson's win means for the Black establishment who backed Vallas. chicago.suntimes.com/electio…

After tight race for mayor, Black political establishment may face a ‘reckoning’

What will it mean if ward-level data show Black voters cast ballots for Johnson, while their City Council representatives backed Vallas?

Really appreciate this piece from @natalieymoore on Chicago’s upcoming runoff election.

As Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson barnstorm before the runoff, policing and public education out front. This election also touches on power, identity, and of course, race. And that scares me more than the backlash to Harold Washington's election. wbez.org/stories/a-tale-of-t…
