[HotAir] You will be happy to find out that almost 20 percent of Democrats would be very unhappy if the military staged a coup to replace Donald Trump. Another 10 percent would have mixed feelings about it, meaning that nearly 30 percent would be at least a bit bothered by the idea.
The rest would either be fine with it or downright happy.
[FOX] On the West Side of Chicago, Frederick Douglass Academy had a grand total of 27 students inside a building that was built for 1,000 students. That is only 2% of the building's capacity. The school was one of 13 Chicago schools that had fewer than 100 students. Across the city, 35% of schools are less than half full. The Chicago Public Schools system has lost more than 77,000 students since 2010.
So where are all the students disappearing to? The answer is an indictment of the city and its public school sector.
It is true that many families have left the city because of its rising cost of living. I know many Black families who have moved out, and their numbers are in the tens of thousands. It is also true that the birth rate in Chicago has dropped by nearly 50% in less than 20 years. It is not surprising that many graduates choose to leave the city instead of staying and starting families here.
The mayor said he used a $1.25 billion bond to strengthen his city’s environmental policies.
“It’s the largest economic development bond in the history of Chicago. I used $135 million of that economic development bond to build green social housing,” Johnson said.

They keep the schools open so that the Teachers Union members are not laid off, still paid and keep their retirement payouts.
The CTU controls the School Board(s), and thus the decision to keep the empty schools open.

But, but, but you can't lay them off or terminate them because there are no students to teach. They are Democratic Chicago Machine members, and likely DEI hires. They are ENTITLED to a paycheck and retirement. Don't you understand ?
