Why isn't this Woman at Harvard Already?
The demonstration started on {Chicago Mayor Lori} Lightfoot’s block, where dozens of officers blocked the street and sidewalks but protesters gathered outside the barricades. They sang, chanted and danced, calling on Lightfoot to defund the Chicago Police Department, remove officers from schools and keep public school students learning at home when classes begin.
Lightfoot announced Friday the city plans to have most students back in school come the fall — with major changes due to the coronavirus pandemic.
{P}rotest organizer Taylore Norwood said having students in class would be a “death wish” for Black and Brown children. Black and Latino communities have suffered disproportionately during the pandemic, she said, and police in schools could beat and arrest kids who are already suffering from trauma and PTSD.
“You’re sending these Black and Brown children to their death,” said Norwood, who organizes with GoodKids MadCity, an anti-violence youth group.
Norwood said Lightfoot’s absence at Saturday’s protest — and the large police presence which kept activists from gathering outside the mayor’s home — was a “slap in the face.”
“When people don’t want to deal with the truth, when the truth is ugly, you run,” Norwood said.Let's blame the White People who are choosing to educate their children and working with their school districts to make it as safe as possible for the soon return...
There will just be more inequality to blame on Whites, and in a few years? The poor uneducated children will get into Harvard, with no test scores, because they were poor and oppressed and their schools shut down by thugs like these.
Wouldn't it be better if somebody at the NYT -- isn't white liberal lady Carolyn Ryan in charge of hiring? -- just snaps up Norwood now? She could be a citizen journalist. Big black lady... good at organizing people to attack cops...
These BLM protests have officially become riots. John Lewis who?
What's sad is so few educated White liberals are speaking out against this now, and like Joe Biden, apparently think if they silently support this, and hide out in the basement, it will never come from them or theirs.
