Hundreds of Chicago Public School students walked out of class last Friday to protest the return of in-person lessons. The students felt their voices were not heard during the discussions between the Chicago Teachers Union and Chicago Public Schools over Covid-19 safety measures. Students from 20 CPS Schools walked out of school and gathered outside of CPS headquarters in the Loop holding signs calling for the resignation of Mayor Lori Lightfoot and additional safety measures.
