SPRINGFIELD – The conservative Illinois think tank that has developed a strong presence within the Rauner administration is under scrutiny for a new political cartoon.
The cartoon which showed a black child begging a white man for money was deemed racist and insensitive in some corners after the death of a woman in the clashes in Charlottesville, Va. The cartoon was posted online to serve as a commentary on Illinois’ school funding fight.
IPI officials removed the online image, calling it a distraction.
