Palestinian students lead walkout at CPS’ Chicago Academy High School in support of children killed in Gaza – Chicago Tribune/MSN

Many of the desks at Chicago Academy High School sat empty during the last period of classes Thursday, as about 250 students — half of the student body — walked out to demand a cease-fire in solidarity with the children of Gaza. Palestinian American pupils organized the Chicago Public Schools-sanctioned walkout, leading chants as students marched around the predominantly Latinx school in Dunning on the Northwest Side before returning for the last 30 minutes of classes.

Keep walking to the nearest airport and leave the country.

Dunning, there was a huge mental institution there, closed now as the mentally unstable crowd walks around in public.

They did not miss anything by walking out. The CPS is nothing more than a babysitter. No education is going on inside the schools.
