and in portland, the teachers union has proposed shifting to one at-home instruction day per week for high school students and one shorter school day for elementary and middle school students, all this despite congress doling out a whopping $189 billion in its three covid relief bills to shore up k-12 education. we re back with kim■ç strassel, bill mcgurn and jill january mel key your gillian mel key your. our money has gone to the public schools in the past three covid bills, where s that money going if teachers once again are staying at home? yeah. it almost makes you think this isn t a money issue. i m looking at this situation, and for sure teachers face some challenges. you have kids with mental health issues that are unprecedented, depression, all sorts of things. but that s predictable if they ve been out of regular school for more than a year. mckenzie looked at this, they were finding on average
that s where white wokism has run amok. and all of these prosecutors ran on these platforms. they didn t hide what they were going to do. they said they were going to reduce bail. they said they were going to decriminalize many of the laws in those cities, and this is the result. and until the people in those cities get it through their heads that this isn t working, it s going to continue because those prosecutors are not apologizing, as we just saw with mr. krasner and mr. gascon. they will continue these policies so long as they remain in office. david: gillian, there s somebody else who was elected to office, and that s the mayor of chicago, lori lightfoot. she actually went a step further and put the blame on retailers, on retail businesses for all of these smash-and-grab robberies we ve seen around the country. roll tape. some of the retailers downtown on michigan avenue, i will tell you, i m disappointed
melling your. kim, we all feel it, everybody who lives in a city whether it s the east coast, the west coast, the middest, we all feel it, we see is it, but the politicians tell us don t believe your lying eyes, right in. it s astonishing because we saw something similar with the l.a. d.a. as well, george gascon, when has spent the past year saying that, you know, his policies are working, another one of these progressive des moines a.s. look, this is d.a.s. this is a subject that is long overdue because we focused the last year on the defund the police movement, but if you were listening to those police even over the past year or so, they were saying, look, that s only one of the issues. the equally big issue are these prosecutors who refuse to prosecute crimes, who won t impose baim< who just have a revolving door and send people back out. and we re finally getting some pushback and question of these people.
