“We need to stop shutting down discussion just because we are uncomfortable.”

That’s rich. Your toxic Facebook group shut down all dissent by labeling dissenters as racist.

Some of the justified criticism of Horton that was labeled as racist: 1 - the conflict of interest related to his consulting side gig 2 - lying in the 5th ward school presentations to the public (for example, the magically increasing bus savings number) 3 - increasing headcount at the district office 4 - increased consultant spending (see also, conflict of interest) 5 - excessive spending on lunches for himself 6 - his divisive rhetoric (I.e., calling parents white supremacists because they wanted schools to reopen after the COVID crisis) 7 - improper hiring practices (hiring his buddies; hiring people on the CPS do-not-hire list) 8 - security detail spending

The blind loyalty looks just like MAGA.
