Millennium Park unaccompanied minor curfew garners mixed reaction – WGNTV (Chicago)

The Chicago Teachers Union also shared a statement, with a portion stating, “Why does a black mayor of a city with a large population of black residents insist on deepening black pain and trauma? Our youth have experienced three years of a pandemic, which followed a lifetime of neglect of their communities. The mayor needs to be doing more to address violence in schools, mental health needs and entrenched disinvestment, instead of knee jerk curfews and bans on the use of public spaces.”
