Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has finally put her foot down on the city’s teachers’ union, accusing them of holding students “hostage” as they oppose the city’s efforts to reopen schools and bring back in-person learning.
The union voted for the action after just 400 cases of COVID-19 were reported on Tuesday morning in the city.

The trial comes three years after the January 2019 incident, in which Smollett claimed to have been attacked by racist, Trump supporters in Chicago.

Lightfoot is redirecting nearly ten million dollars meant for COVID relief in order to fund a project to fight racism.
