Chicago teachers and students as a whole can’t spell “civic.”
CTU got what they wanted, as usual. Schools should have to get signed permission slips to attend this “field trip.” Teachers and the schools should be legally and financially responsible for any injuries to students, and arrest of any student.

Third , If any of these families have faith based, conservative views get out of CPS run run run as far as you can away from activism like this. The media will cover this, look at how many students have come out , Isn’t this a great protest. What a joke!
Shows who runs the CPS AND CITY OF CHIRAQ .
Surprised?
For CPS to spend money on Marxist indoctrination, when graduates of CPS cannot do read, write or do math at their grade level, is a slap in the face to the taxpayers.
Of course hey did. What a waste of time. Makes no common sense.
