Given the unprecedented number of free laptop computers that vanished from CPS during Covid, I’d like to see the losses examined across racial lines. Maybe certain racial groups are saying CPS has nothing to offer them.

” … they’re fighting address “systemic” inequities in the district, particularly at schools with predominantly Black and brown students.”

According to the website Chalkbeat, 11% of the students in Chicago public schools are white, 4.5% are Asian. CTU wants us to believe that “black and brown students” are suffering because the funding is going to the tiny number of white and Asian kids?

The could start teaching like the charter schools and be behind closing underutilized schools to provide more resources for students, instead of protecting there own jobs.
