Two days ago a good number of parents and students conducted sit ins at some of the CPS schools to protest cuts being made to many of the districts schools. This isn't the first time that cuts have been handed out to the students, their families and staff. I mention all of these groups as any cuts are known to adversely affect all the constituent groups as well as the education of the children.
Let me pose something to you in a sincere manner. What would you do? You play by the rules, you write letters, you support the school of your child(ren) and you want to see them get the best education possible. Aside from that you pay your property and taxes to the city and state. Is that okay for you to sit by and see what are often draconian cuts made to staffing and budgets, cuts made that will certainly negatively impact education? The answer is a resounding NO!
Peacefully protesting harmful cuts through sit ins is not only a constitutional right it has to be done to draw attention from those in charge that making cuts has to stop. It has to stop for the sake of the kids!
As I said, What are they suppose to do?
