Hell yeah!
Chance the Rapper held a press conference at Westcott Elementary School in Chicago Monday to discuss education funding and announce a $1 million donation to Chicago Public Schools. The press conference was streamed live here via Chance's Instagram. Complex News was also on the scene.
Chance's presser centered on what he said was an "urgent need" to fund Chicago schools. "Gov. Rauner can use his executive power to give Chicago's children the resources they need to fulfill their God-given right to learn," Chance said. "Our talks were unsuccessful." Rauner, Chance said, was unwilling to budge without caveats and ultimatums.
"Our kids should not be held hostage because of political positioning," Chance said. "If the governor does not act, CPS will be forced to end school 13 days early, which means over 380,000 kids will not have adult supervised activities in June and could possibly be put in harm's way."
Bravo! Now all we need to get rid of a Governor, who’s less popular than soda tax, next year.
