Why Unit 5 Board Chair got by with his comments

By: Diane Benjamin

If you forgot the comments by Alex Williams, see them here: https://blnnews.com/2025/09/20/controversy-surrounds-unit-5-board-chair-alex-williams/

Governor Pritzker gave a speech to the Illinois Federation of Teachers. His comments about Trump supporters were vile. Worse, he got a standing ovation from the TEACHERS present.

Alex Williams knows the administration and teachers in Unit 5 have his back. Pritzker doesn’t want teachers to know Trump wants to return education and dollars to states by closing the Department of Education.

Pritzker proved he doesn’t care about over 43.47% of Illinois voters who voted for Trump.

Obviously public school teachers don’t either. Why are you allowing your kids to be indoctrinated by people who hate you?

Williams also made this comment:

Unit 5 doesn’t care.

  1. When you send your kids to be educated by Caeser, don’t be surprised when they turn out to be just like Caeser.

  2. When the powers that be decided that education should be used like a Marxist tool for social revolution on the backs of impressionable children, they destroyed it. Thanks to Marxist Paulo Freire who is listed as a reference in Unit 5’s Equity Audit.

  3. The irony of all of this is that as far as I’m concerned, the feeling is mutual. I wonder which of us most likely wants to survive more? I don’t really think they want the answer that badly. But they just keep pushing, so who knows what’s going to happen?

  4. Do you know five school board has sucked for 20 years +. A bunch of idiots run for a position that nobody wants and then the idiots are like the Stooges having no clue what they’re doing and looking at each other for assurance. Idiots! Unit 5 school board is a joke – collectively and individually!
