The saddest thing about @ChiPubSchools voting yet again to keep police in CPS ins't just that they're on the wrong side of history, it's that getting on the right side is inevitable.
#PoliceFreeSchools will be reality. You're just waisting time/$ until we get there. #CopsOutCPS
Hearing officials today use terms like "school to prison pipeline" and "restorative justice" while arguing FOR police in schools was insulting, and not even a good cover. We know exactly where you stand, and more importantly, we know where we stand. #CopsOutCPS #PoliceFreeSchools
The only members of the board who uplifted the actual voices/demands of youth were also the only ones who came with the actual data/stats that support #PoliceFreeSchools. @ChiPubSchools NO MORE STUDIES. The research has already been done and the findings are clear. #CopsOutCPS
It's an insult that women/femmes are the ones leading these fights, are constantly told we are overly emotional and irrational, yet we are the only ones with the actual data and historical analysis to support the demands we're making. #CopsOutCPS #PoliceFreeSchools
Listening to men on the board condescend to youth and their women colleagues with no backing for their stance other than their own misinformed opinions was also infuriating--while women are overwhelmingly doing the teaching and leading the movement. #CopsOutCPS #PoliceFreeSchools
