Their pleas to save the Safe Passage program from future cuts come after a recent string of shootings outside Chicago schools, including Wendell Phillips Academy High School, where a 14-year-old boy was shot early this month. CPS started the program in 2009, and, since then, the program has grown into 17 vendors, covering nearly 200 city schools and ensuring students' safety to and from campus.
Dems throw more money at something because Chicago kids can’t walk to school without the fear of being shot. Then once they get to school, they are academically tortured by CPS with a sub-par education. Not exactly investing in the future of these kids. Another option would be hiring more cops and throwing criminals in jail where they belong.
