I took particular offense at board member Soo La Kim lecturing the audience about how she didn’t run for the school board to maximize the benefit for her own children, as if it’s impossible for her to be acting in her own self-interest, while also implying that the BR community were only concerned with ‘hoarding resources’ for their children at the expense of the district as a whole.

It looks like she’s acting in her self-interest to be the hero who went down in history as returning a fifth ward school and bringing “walkability” to Evanston/district65 schools.
