CPS teachers are fucking heroes. It is beyond clear by what they’re specifically asking for that they are doing this for their students, not for themselves. Yes they’re asking for pay raises, but those were already on the table and public school teachers are drastically underpaid everywhere in this country anyways.…

I am a CPS parent and I say, give them what they want. I would go further and cap charter school growth (which I believe they did in LA) - they perpetuate the segregation and they take public funds while not being held accountable to the public for results or proper spending. Rahm’s expansion of UNO charters, CPS…

The Boomers already beat you to it. It’s just on a delay so they can be gone first.

I never heard of Chika before this piece. Now that I have, slide over, I want in on #TeamChika and all she reps.

Blended and nontraditional families are commonplace for non-white communities

Yale made a mistake.

It’s part of th building code. 

Ive known of welfare checks. They usually stroll in with two cops not one. And they may even call in 4 or 5 other cop cars especially when they know its a black neighborhood.

They don’t believe in notes, either so cut it out. 

You’re on fire today. Between the Hof’s daughter turning over his hard drives and files and today’s testimony, one can only come to the conclusion that the virus of white supremacy is in the bloodstream and what therapy exists to eradicate it?!

I was thinking the same thing. I want to see the other kids photographs. I am so with you about edges. It needs to stop. If you want to take the time to swirl and gel them down, great go for it. However we should all be able to rock our natural hair the way it grows out of our damn heads.

I mean, I hate to give ol crazy minstrel show chick any attention but, honestly, your hair is doing everything right.
