The man currently taking up otherwise useful space in the Oval Office just now, used to be the Junior Senator from Illinois.... you know - that borderline bankrupt state in the Mid-West. His prior job was as a state senator in that same state.... I know this only because after a series of 'Present' votes, he finally took a stand and voted FOR an Illinois State law that made it legal for a licensed medical doctor to take a tiny human being that had survived the trauma of abortion -- and throw it on a shelf until it expired! (That means --- dead!!!)
Yeah, that guy!
Well, it turns out that although the average political IQ in the State of Illinois should have risen when he departed the State, it apparently hasn't. I read today that the School District of Elgin, Illinois has serious financial problems. So serious in fact, that they have fired school crossing guards, art and phys-ed teachers, and even extended school pick-up spots to save money and let the tykes walk further.
Bless their hearts -- are they fiscally responsible or what? Oh yes, I reckon I ought to point out that despite this shortage of funds, the school board just voted unanimously to create a new 'Chief of Equity & Social Justice' position. They then hired Chicagoland's Ushma Shah to fill the job........at an annual salary and benefits cost of $132, 450 per year......... the first year that is!
Now like you, I wondered what exactly does a Chief of Equity & Justice do? So I Googled and discovered that thousands of others wondered as well. Click here for a summary of how the Courier News defines it....... although I think the second paragraph says it all!
