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.

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.
