Although not a single student can read at grade level in 30 schools in Illinois, 22 of which are in the City of Chicago, students are taking time away from academics to watch a drag performance funded by a Chicago Children’s Hospital.
The Daily Caller News Foundation shared exclusive documents, obtained through a public records request, showing that “Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago paid Chicago Public Schools (CPS) $500 to cover the cost of a drag performance by one of their health educators at a school resource fair, according to documents obtained by the DCNF.”
The performance, by Jose Dominguez Magdaleno, took place at the school district’s May “Galaxy Summit.
