Members of the Illinois Policy Institute and Liberty Justice Center serve on both boards like Sara Albrecht-board member at the Illinois Policy Institute as well Liberty Justice Center and not coincidentally friends with Trump supporting billionaire Ken Griffin (who wanted to close 150 CPS schools)

The “clever” sounding Liberty Justice Center (LJC) based in Austin Texas, is on the attack against the members of the Chicago Teachers Union by suing the CTU. The Liberty Justice Center often represents the Illinois Policy Institute and hate group Awake Illinois

What does the Illinois Policy Institute, Liberty Justice Center, Awake Illinois, Paul Vallas and many other neoliberal education privatizers have in common besides being emboldened by Trump and Project 2025? Spoiler-they are deeply connected 🧵
