I wish @HillTVLive's @robbysoave would do some research on what @CTULocal1 is dealing with during @ChiPubSchools negotiations re: in-school learning during COVID-19.👇🏾 @ryangrim @KimIversenShow @thehill @ILRaiseYourHand @il_fps @TroyLaraviere @GregKelleySEIU @stacydavisgates

This unfair and unbalanced "reporting" is what set off this thread. 🧵 Dude doesn't know wtf he's talking about, relying on right wing reporting, smh. 🤦🏾‍♀️

.@MSGunderson's tweet on 80 @CTULocal1 NURSES reveals they're short staffed and overworked.👇🏾 Thx @Dennis_Kosuth!

Chicago SOCIAL WORKERS @SSWUChicago know what's up, @ChiPubSchools doesn't have social workers in every school either. Why push for in-person learning when many schools don't have social workers or nurses to help mitigate mental and physical health? 🤷🏾‍♀️

When @ChiPubSchools NURSES issued an official statement back in January 2021 about schools not being safe, where were @robbysoave and other right wingers? 👀

Did @robbysoave and right wingers miss reading about CPS NURSES' statement, many of whom who are also PARENTS, in @washingtonpost? Are they living in their own bubble?

A large grassroots coalition of organizations like @ILRaiseYourHand @UWFIllinois @CTULocal1 @P4TChicago @il_fps @CCCTU_Local1600 etc graded @chicagosmayor straight F's, including Education, COVID Recovery and Health. Lightfoot was previously apptd by @RahmEmanuel 👀 #2Years2Much

Just perusing @CTULocal1 tweets tells a lot, like across @ChiPubSchools, 100 schools don't have full-time social workers and 180 schools don't have full-time nurses. That's not @CTULocal1's fault.

In South Shore (60649), where I live, it's predominantly Black. Here, @CTULocal1 provides the low, social worker and nurse to student ratios. Attending @ChiPubSchools in person doesn't provide necessary safety protocols every student should have, especially during a pandemic.

Wanting Nurses, Social Workers and Librarian and smaller class sizes at every @ChiPubSchools isn't asking too much, it's quite reasonable. @CTULocal1 had good reasons to strike in 2019. Don't right wingers believe ALL students deserve these basic things?

.@NationalNurses stood in solidarity with @CTULocal1, but right wingers didn't. Why focus on students learning in schools but ignore the constant denial of predominantly Black and Brown students' basic needs being met? 🤔

.@chicagosmayor won't prioritize funding basic @ChiPubSchools students needs during a pandemic in the City budget. That's not @CTULocal1's fault, either. If you're not in solidarity for providing students basic needs like nurses and social workers, which side are you on?

.@ChiPrincipals like @TroyLaraviere agree @ChiPubSchools are neither safe nor clean. #CancelAramark

Why are right wingers ignoring PARENTS who are concerned about @ChiPubSchools safety during a pandemic? Parents who WANT remote learning when schools are unsafe are protecting their children!

FYI Starting Jan 3rd, #CPSSickOut PARENTS are ready to #SickOut2SaveLives!! They are demanding a remote option in response to surging Omicron cases. Below is an @RCMHealthcare Asst Nurse AND parent! Listen to parents and #PullEmOut! ✊🏾

Here's @CTULocal1's latest proposal to @ChiPubSchools to make schools safer during Omicron. Making schools safe shouldn't be like pulling teeth!

This is @CTULocal1's latest bargaining update with @ChiPubSchools. CTU is being transparent in its demands.

ICYMI 413 @CTUBlackCaucus members, PSRPs and staff were awarded a $9.25M settlement after @RahmEmanuel disproportionately fired them while closing predominantly Black schools.

FYI Former @AssessorCook Joe Berrios perpetuated institutional racism by shifting the tax burden from wealthier, majority-white neighborhoods to poorer, minority ones."" YET @ChiPubSchools IN THOSE SAME OVERTAXED, MINORITY AREAS REMAIN DEFUNDED!? #FundCPS

Here's the must-read, @chicagotribune @ProPublicaIL investigative reporting most right wingers seem to have missed. Why didn't those overcharged property tax dollars didn't transfer to those local schools? 🤔 @ILAttyGeneral @SAKimFoxx @CPSOIG @ACLUofIL apps.chicagotribune.com/news/watchdog/…

Chicago's Black vaxx rates are low, 3rd shots/boosters are lower, but hospitalizations & deaths are highest. @ChiPubSchools opening in high/medium vulnerability areas in dirty schools w/o HEPA filters, full-time nurses/social workers, just isn't safe. 💯

Next time you want to come for @CTULocal1, at least do your homework, ijs. BTW, I'm a product of @ChiPubSchools, I'm a @BretHarteCPS and @wyhs graduate. Go Dolphins! 🐬
