Elon Musk noticed one of WirePoints.org’s reports on the dismal state of most public schools in Illinois. In this case, the Land of Lincoln’s 30 public schools where NOT A SINGLE STUDENT can read at grade level. Not a one.

What’s more, 21 of those 30 horrific schools are part of the Chicago Public Schools system.
It doesn’t stop there. JB Pritzker’s state has 53 (fifty-three!) schools where not a single kid can do math at grade level. Yeah, they might understand fractions, but adding them together? Fuggetaboudit.
Notice the overlap of a number of the same schools. Not a single student can read or do math at grade level. Yet taxpayers are spending $40,000 or more per pupil, per year, to “educate” each of these young “scholars.”
“What the heck does this have to do with guns, John?”
That’s easy. Just think about it.
What happens when you’re effectively an illiterate teenager in our state, especially if you live in cities? What do you have to look forward to in life?
They have no hope of getting a decent job, getting married, raising a family while having a career and becoming productive members of society.
Instead, these illiterate kids have no future aside from what they perceive as the glamorous “gang” lifestyle of money, guns and drugs. And the only prestige they can readily achieve among their peers is their willingness to use violence.
And who do they use that violence against? Frequently their peers from other gangs. But also, they steal stuff often at gunpoint from the productive class. And that’s YOU.
These young thugs will snuff you out in a heartbeat if you don’t comply quickly enough or have enough valuables to satisfy their entitled mindset.
If we don’t educate our young people, crime and violence is really the only viable option in their minds to achieve what they consider as “success” among their peers.
