Chicago Now columnist Bob Schneider has officially abandoned the GOP for the Democrats. Among his critiques of his former party colleagues:
They hate education. Their steadfast crusade to end public education, to deny it money is an attack on our future. I went to public schools, including a public university. I received a good education, from dedicated teachers and professors. That should be preserved and not torn to shreds.
I wish he had given the “why” to go with the “what”. Do they see it easier to control the ill-educated? Is it the old complaint about educators being liberals? Is this some sort of outrage at free enterprise not providing education?
Do they even know themselves?
