Chance the Rapper digs at pols over education funding
Chance the Rapper took to Twitter Monday night to jab at Illinois politicians wrangling over school funding, in the wake of news that nearly 1,000 Chicago Public Schools employees are being laid off.
The hip-hop superstar retweeted a Chicago Sun-Times story about the CPS layoffs, which affect 350 teachers, along with a Chicago Tribune story about Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoing a bipartisan school spending bill.
He followed up with a wry tweet, quipping All in time for the back to school parade Saturday [shaking my head]. #supportCPS.
All in time for the back to school parade Saturday smh. #supportCPS
