Illinois Policy Institute Faces Backlash For Political Cartoon

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, Virginia. 
 
The cartoon was posted online to serve as a commentary on Illinois' school funding fight. I-P-I officials removed the online image, calling it a distraction.
