Washington Post rips Chicago Teachers Union for pursuing social justice initiatives as students struggle
Fox News
The Washington Post editorial board slammed the Chicago Teachers Union's focus on social justice initiatives as students' math and reading proficiency continues to drop in the city.
"Those are lofty goals in a school district that can hardly teach kids to read and write," the Post quipped. "In 2025, 43 percent of Chicago’s third through eighth grade students were reading at grade level. Only 27 percent were proficient in math. Those are fundamental deficits that haunt kids into high school. In 11th grade, only 40 percent were proficient in reading and 25 percent in math on the ACT."
