about 3rd grader 8 grader and senior. not waiting until the vice is gone. omicron changed all of that prevalent but far from lethal. now i think you see a bunch of parents side go aheading with republicans have been saying over the past one couple of years. mayor lightfoot who sounds much like a republican these days expressing frustration but now expressing elation because they have a deal. listen. we know this has been very difficult for students and family it our goal throughout this entire process was to both get our students back to in person learning as quickly as possible and prevent work destructions for the rest of the school year. i m personally exhausted and glad this is over this. has been a very unpleasant experience. the ctu felt like we were asking for reasonable things. steve: a set of reasonable things. so, after there was the name calling, that we saw earlier in
sharky, and is he a socialist. he used to be a member of the international socialist organization before the controversy. he was slamming lori lightfoot the day before, before they worked it all out. listen. we don t have enough on the take to be able to go back to the table who frankly break the law and constantly say help us ensure our safety. we are basically, the mayor has been relentless, but she is being relentlessly stupid. [cheers] she is being relentlessly stubborn. brian: there is a legitimate question did the money go to the schools when they got those big checks? because a lot of it went to social engineering programs and some form of crt. i got it you come out and talk about ventilation and separation. i love there are so many blue states now that are saying we have got to get the kids back in school. parents aren t democratic or republican they are concerned
cannabis dispensary, you have got to be vaccinated and right after they made that announcement, the number of people getting vaccinated and making appointments quadrupled because people in canada could not want to be without their booze or their weed. ainsley: their booze got them through the pandemic so, yeah, they don t want to be without it they are used it now. steve: you are right. ainsley: look at lori lightfoot two years ago in 2020 she was saying skip thanksgiving with your family. if you don t adhere to the stay at home orders, police might come and arrest you. now she is saying we want schools to open. look at mayor garcetti in l.a. and gavin newsom all for lockdowns in california and now saying we want to have the super bowl in l.a. monmouth university did polling and they asked americans and the majority of them said they are so sick and tired of this pandemic. now that we have vaccines they want to get back to normal. democrats were so on board for all these lockdown
and the for the most part rank and file vote for it today. many teachers unhappy and there is a probability they will reject it. because they did not get what they wanted and the ultimate thing thing that they wanted was they wanted to return to class a week from today instead, the teachers are in today, ainsley, and the students come back tomorrow, if it passes by the rank and file. ainsley: that s crazy. that would be two weeks of the kids not having any classroom at all because lori lightfoot said we are not doing any zoom teaching. i want the kids back in the classroom. she said parents shouldn t have to choose whether or not they are going to go out and make a living or stay at home with their children. some of these parents are hourly employees so they need to go back to work but they have to stay at home with their kids. their kids are not learning right now. that s been the argument. it s interesting that just a day earlier the teachers union president his name is jesse
the day. suddenly it s like okay, we re going to go back to school. even though the teachers, a lot of them, are not happy about it. you know, and, brian, you kind of touched on this a moment ago. there are so many you mentioned that lori lightfoot, starting now, during the first week in january, sounded like le let s keep the schools open not what she was saying a month ago. julie pace from the a.p. says you can notice a shift. and we were talking about this before christmas on how democrats, you know, they are looking at the polling. they realize that all the lockdown stuff not popular with people and so they are trying to expand now and keep the schools open, which who knew, that is apparently what parents want. watch. we are seeing this really remarkable shift. you know, early in the pandemic you could basically draw a straight line between your partisan affiliation and where you fell on covid restrictions.
