“WBBM-TV reported that the march was also held to call attention to the city’s planned school budget of $5.58 billion, which includes a cut of about $68 million from classroom services that opponents argue targets schools in communities of color. According to WGN-TV, the protest, part of a group of demonstrations in 25 cities around the country against school budget cuts, was quickly criticized by Mayor Rahm Emanuel. ‘I do not think it’s appropriate to advocate that children stay out of school,’ he said at a press conference on Tuesday. ‘You wanna make a statement? Go to the courtroom. Don’t take it to the classroom.'”
