Pritzker’s kids went to private schools. He sent them to Florida when he closed down Illinois schools and businesses.

I've laid out a budget that does everything possible to invest in the education of our children.
But that's meaningless if we ban books from school libraries, tell kids they can't talk about being gay, and signal to ALL our communities that our stories can't be told.
