The city of Chicago displaced 15,000 some children in the largest school closings EVER. They said the buildings would be repurposed, the children would be better off, the neighborhood schools they transitioned to transformed. Did city keep its promises?https://t.co/ep7fh63EOy

I reviewed Let the Little Light Shine

"Chance the Rapper grew up on the South Side and runs a nonprofit that raises funds for CPS. As he notes, the city found the money to build a 95mil police academy; he finds the defunding of area schools hypocritical." https://t.co/PtbIDRck5p
