To blame teachers for murders is unhinged and dangerous. I don’t think ppl know how irresponsible this reporting is esp when Covid school closings—a once in a 100 yr occurrence—is so different than *Paul Vallas school closings*. See: NOLA. He is intending to close MORE CPS, btw.

CPS did a survey of students. It showed most students want cops in the schools. @mdoukmas did some digging. Turns out northside white schools were vastly over represented, and white kids were counted at twice their numbers in the system overall.
