Colleges Crack Down on Protests, Lead Pipe Removal, and Suing Lil Durk
Description
It has been an interesting week after the entire school board decided to resign last Friday and the mayor announced six new members on Monday. Mayor Brandon Johnson is pushing back against critics, CPS CEO Pedro Martinez has gone on the defense, and the City Council doesn’t get a special school board sitdown. Joining us to break it all down are Chalkbeat Chicago’s Reema Amin and WBEZ’s Patrick Smith. Plus, we discuss new student protest restrictions on college campuses, updates on Chicago’s lead pipe removal timeline, and FBG Duck’s mother’s lawsuit against Lil Durk and others.
Check out this episode on why Chicago has so many lead pipes.
