Maybe it’ll help to have more school days off to celebrate the 100 million plus corpses in the ground due to Socialism.

“ Sustainability, affordability, equity, blah, blah, blah!”. These Marxists like to throw around lofty ideas and grand words without really understanding what they mean and no intention of accomplishing anything.

The ” village” that Gates envisions is also called Communism. She and the CPS will be prime in the destruction of the city of Chicago.
Thumbs down from a communist that prefers to be called a “ socialist “ or “ progressive “.
“the only difference between communism and socialism is the spelling”
