Chicago mayor wants schools to close for left-wing protests
Brandon Johnson, mayor of Chicago

“The Chicago Teachers Union and Mayor Brandon Johnson are pushing to close Chicago Public Schools on May 1 for a ‘Day of Civic Action.” No other big city will do the same,” reports The Last Ward:

Will the Chicago Teachers Union lock students out of school on May 1?

More than 300,000 Chicago schoolchildren—and their parents—still don’t know the answer to that question.

Whether schools will proceed with arts programming, senior milestones, AP exam prep, field trips and more on May Day remains up in the air.

But one thing is certain.

If the CTU and Mayor Brandon Johnson have their way, Chicago will be the only big city in the country to proactively close its public schools on May 1.

Chicago’s left-wing mayor, Brandon Johnson, has sought to get rid of high-achieving high-schools in the name of “equity.”

Thousands of Chicago school laptops have been stolen and ended up in China, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.

Chicago is under investigation for illegal anti-white discrimination.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has advocated race-based reparations, which would backfire and harm the economy, as well as unlawfully discriminating based on race.

Conservative public-interest law firms have sued Chicago over its illegal racial discrimination, such as a lawsuit brought by  the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty.
