Summary
Students are being allowed to leave class, not for a field trip, but for a political rally. A school bus pulls up… but it’s not dropping kids off at school. Students are being allowed to leave class, not for a field trip, but for a political rally. In Chicago Public Schools, students were bused to May Day protests — with transportation and even lunch provided.But in a district where reading proficiency is already struggling, I have to ask: 👉 Is this education… or something else? I break down what happened, why it matters, and the bigger question facing schools across America. This isn’t about politics — it’s about priorities in education. Sponsored by Preserve Gold.
