American Thinker;
The Chicago Teachers’ Union, an affiliate of Randi Weingarten’s American Federation of Teachers (AFT), has been busted for lying about and exploiting the death of a student’s mother in order to demand continued school closings and more spending on “safety measures” against COVID. It is a ghoulish and sordid affair that should further discredit the AFT, a major source of funding for Democrats, and a malign influence damaging children’s education through school closures and mandatory masking.
LGIS News Service reports in Chicago City Wire:
A school parent the Chicago Teachers’ Union claimed caught COVID-19 from a student and died in fact drank herself to death.
That’s according to a Cook County Medical Examiner’s toxicology report obtained by Chicago City Wire.
It said Denisha Henry, 32, died last September at Stroger Hospital of chronic ethanolism, not COVID-19, as was widely cited by CTU last fall as evidence schools were not safe and should remain closed.
“According to the 2021 Illinois Assessment of Readiness, 341 Jensen students — or 96 percent— failed to meet state mastery standards in English. In mathematics, that number was 99 percent— or 351 students.
The principal at Jensen is Chinyere Okafor. According to CPS pay records she earned $195,815 in 2021.
She is the aunt of former Jahil Okafor, the former top NBA draft pick who now plays professionally in China. Okafor starred at Whitney Young H.S. and Duke University. He last played for the Detroit Pistons in 2021”.
Not sure it matters much if they’re physically present. If the parents of these students exerted a fraction of the energy they put into protesting George Floyd’s overdose, perhaps the cyclical dumbing down of their communities would gradually improve and their demands for reparations (or any other imagined injustice) would cease.
At least she wasn’t shot which is actually expected.
