I asked ChatGPT "Is the 'science of reading' settled science that determines how reading should be taught?" Here's the response. https://nancyebailey.com/2023/03/19/what-does-chatgpt-say-about-the-science-of-reading-it-may-surprise-you/

Paul Vallas stole people’s schools which means their community. Listen to parents from NOLA and Philly tonight. He did this bc he believes corp interests prevail. And there’s good $ in that. Chicago will be 💯 better with @Brandon4Chicago. 😊
