Nice try Stacy but criticism of your joining the mayor on his trip to Rome was not related to race. It had everything to do with your open hostility toward poor families receiving public support to attend parochial schools.
Under your leadership, CTU pressured “Captain Courageous”—Governor Pritzker and the Illinois General Assembly—to end the Invest in Kids scholarship program, which benefited more than 15,000 low-income families.
During COVID, you and CTU leadership unsuccessfully pressured the General Assembly to prevent Catholic schools from resuming in-person learning while city public schools remained shuttered for 78 weeks.
You are leading the effort to lobby Gov. Pritzker to opt out of the federal scholarship program, which would provide hundreds of millions of dollars in educational assistance and tuition support to lower-income families whose children attend private schools.
Did the Pope know that Mayor Johnson’s entourage included individuals—including the mayor himself—who have been hostile to supporting poor Black families seeking to send their children to parochial schools?
For example, your efforts stripped 175 scholarships from Hope Academy’s 300 high school students on Chicago’s West Side. You and the mayor should have asked the Pope for absolution!
Next month will be hiking all night through the Negev Desert to raise money for @ALYNHospital - Israel's only hospital dedicated entirely to the rehabilitation of children with physical disabilities.
This hike will push me physically-but it's nothing compared to the challenges the children at ALYN face every day. Many of them are working toward goals we take for granted: standing, walking, gaining independence. At ALYN, those goals become possible.
Please help sponsor this effort - any amount will help: https://t.co/rDt5s6jxV4

This was the most poignantly beautiful interview ever aired and reflects the true heart and soul of Joe Kernen @JoeSquawk@SquawkCNBC. Take a few moments to watch and restore your faith in the goodness of humanity and the blessing of living each day with gratitude. I’m trying myself and witnessing something like this makes it real and inspiring and compelling.
