Excerpt:
According to an in-depth analysis published at Chalkbeat, a nonprofit news organization with a stated mission to report on America’s school system, particularly the way it impacts those who have “historically lacked access to a quality education,” the demographics of the Chicago public schools is rapidly changing, and I’d argue, not for the better. While the number of (alien) Hispanic students skyrockets, blacks rapidly diminish. Where once there were experienced educators, now there are progressive activists, translators, and social workers who delegate dollars to students based on other needs in extracurricular areas of their lives like housing and food. And, around a quarter of the pupils don’t even speak English.
Authors Crystal Paul and Becky Vevea broke down the current racial demographics, noting that the “vast majority” of students are non-white; Hispanics account for 47% and blacks make up 35%. They also revealed that these figures have “shifted” over the past ten years, as black families fled Chiraq, “birth rates declined” (Illinois abortion rates have steadily increased), and “new immigrants arrived.”
