Heading west past the horse farms and rolling fields of Barrington Hills, the district’s Sunny Hill School in Carpentersville also reopened. But only about 1 in 4 families at Sunny Hill — where 90% of students are economically disadvantaged — allowed their children to return to the classroom.

Now, many parents, particularly from middle- and upper-income communities in the Chicago area, are again demanding a reopening of schools, saying their children are suffering from social isolation and academic regression they believe pose a greater danger than the virus itself. https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-covid-19-illinois-schools-opening-pressure-20201031-cwivxnk72bfr7f77jtxwop75ne-story.html 3/17 12/10/2020 In the fight over reopening schools amid the pandemic, race and class divisions are stark - Chicago Tribune Parents and students rally in favor of in-person teaching ahead of an Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 board meeting. (Brian Cassella / Chicago Tribune) Yet as parents in more affluent communities like Elmhurst, Lincolnshire and Libertyville organize rallies in support of open schools, fears that in-person classes will increase the risks of coronavirus exposure to students and staff — and, by extension, to their families — are only growing, especially in lower-income and more racially diverse communities disproportionately affected by the pandemic. That all of this is playing out during an economic crisis and perhaps one the most polarized presidential elections in U.S. history has only escalated tensions. ADVERTISEMENT https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-covid-19-illinois-schools-opening-pressure-20201031-cwivxnk72bfr7f77jtxwop75ne-story.html 4/17 12/10/2020 In the fight over reopening schools amid the pandemic, race and class divisions are stark - Chicago Tribune Troubled by the disparate attitudes toward the virus, Dr. Tina Tan, professor of pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, observed that, “Everything has become a political debate, and a lot of more affluent individuals don’t believe in the science." “Some of these parents believe kids don’t get very sick, and even if their kids get COVID, it would just be the sniffles,” Tan said. “But the opposite is true, and a certain subset of children can become very ill with long-term consequences.” Tan said residents from low-income communities have had higher rates of contracting the virus for many reasons, including family members in the household who are more likely to be front-line workers providing essential services to the public. Economically disadvantaged families may also find it impossible to social distance when a member of the family is ill with COVID, due to living in modest homes that are often shared by numerous relatives, Tan said. “If you’re living in a 10,000-square-foot home, it’s easy to find a room for a family member who is sick, so they don’t infect the rest of the family,” Tan said. “But when you have a multi-generational family living under the same roof in a two- bedroom apartment, how do you social distance when someone is sick?” In one suburban school system, Cicero District 99 — where the community’s COVID-19 rate has double digits in recent weeks — the teachers union is strongly opposing a request that teachers begin delivering remote lessons from empty classrooms in November. Rachel Esposito, president of the Cicero Council of the West Suburban Teachers Union, noted Friday that a large majority of families indicated support for remote learning in a district survey. https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-covid-19-illinois-schools-opening-pressure-20201031-cwivxnk72bfr7f77jtxwop75ne-story.html 5/17 12/10/2020 In the fight over reopening schools amid the pandemic, race and class divisions are stark - Chicago Tribune The Cicero district enrolls around 11,000 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade, about 92% from economically disadvantaged families and 96% who are Hispanic, according state data released Friday. “There is a divide between families from affluent communities who have access to great health care, and those who don’t have the same access, which is the case for most of the families in Cicero," Esposito said. While she said she was well aware that many local families have lost loved ones to COVID-19 in recent months, the dire situation was underscored by a recent conversation she had with a neighborhood priest. “He typically presides over 10 to 12 funerals a year at his church in Cicero, but he estimates that by the end of this year, it will be between 130 to 160 funerals, which hit me like a ton of bricks, knowing the devastation COVID has caused to this community," Esposito said. “People in Cicero want to take a pause from reopening schools, because they are scared, and they are definitely suffering.” ADVERTISEMENT District 99 Superintendent Rodolfo Hernandez on Friday cited the recent rise in COVID-19 cases and the “current conditions” in noting that the school board has delayed the resumption of in-person learning “out of an abundance of caution,” despite having received “confirmation from the (Cook County Department of https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-covid-19-illinois-schools-opening-pressure-20201031-cwivxnk72bfr7f77jtxwop75ne-story.html 6/17 12/10/2020 In the fight over reopening schools amid the pandemic, race and class divisions are stark - Chicago Tribune Public Health) that it was safe” to reopen schools to students. He said the decision to bring teachers back into buildings on Nov. 9 was made “after careful thought and deliberation" and in consultation with the union. In Addison School District 4 — where nearly 60% of students are considered low- income and nearly 65% are Hispanic — children have been returning to school in stages over the last few weeks. And while the district is using a staggered schedule so that no more than a fifth of students are in the schools at one time, only about 40% of families have chosen to send their children back for in-person learning, the district confirmed. Still, with Addison’s seven-day positivity rate hovering around 15% — and the DuPage County Health Department recommending that schools revert to remote learning because of “substantial community transmission” of COVID-19 — teachers rallied outside of a Board of Education meeting Wednesday seeking an immediate suspension of in-person learning. “We need to do what’s safest for our students and our community. The medical experts at the DuPage County Health Department recommended school districts move to all remote learning. We should absolutely be following that advice,” Addison Teachers Association Co-President Allison Andrikokus said in a news release ahead of the rally. https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-covid-19-illinois-schools-opening-pressure-20201031-cwivxnk72bfr7f77jtxwop75ne-story.html 7/17 12/10/2020 In the fight over reopening schools amid the pandemic, race and class divisions are stark - Chicago Tribune Maria Sinkule, a social worker at Indian Trail Junior High School, rallies with Addison teachers union members against the resumption of in-person classes. (Brian Cassella / Chicago Tribune) District 4 Director of Communications Brendan Marshall said the district is “committed to ensuring a safe learning environment and a high-quality education.” He said schools are operating under public health safety guidelines and that officials are monitoring the situation “on a daily, hourly and case-by-case basis.” Nearby in Oak Brook-based Butler Elementary District 53 — which has one elementary and one middle school, and just 1% of students are considered low- income — Superintendent Paul O’Malley said the percentage of students participating in full in-person learning has increased as of Wednesday to 77% from 62% at the start of the school year.

  • Ally Advocacy, Identity Reconfiguration, and Political Change
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: “THE FIGHT IS YOURS”: ALLY ADVOCACY, IDENTITY RECONFIGURATION, AND POLITICAL CHANGE William Howell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2020 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Trevor Parry-Giles, Department of Communication Since at least 1990, scholars and activists have used the term “ally” to describe and theorize a distinct sociopolitical role: someone from a majority identity group working to end that group’s oppression of another identity group. While the term is recent, “allies” are present throughout America’s constant struggle to actualize equality and justice. The identity-rooted ideologies that empowered allies disempowered the groups for and with whom they sought justice and equality. But those empowering identities were pieces, more or less salient, of complex intersectional people. Given the shared nature of identity, this process also necessarily pitted allies against those with whom they shared an identity. In this project, I ask two questions about past ally advocacy—questions that are often asked about contemporary ally advocacy. First, in moments of major civil rights reform, how did allies engage their own intersecting identities—especially those ideologically-charged identities with accrued power from generations of marginalizing and oppressing? Second, how did allies engage other identities that were not theirs—especially identities on whose oppression their privilege was built? In asking these two questions—about self-identity and others’ identity—I assemble numerous rhetorical fragments into “ally advocacy.” This bricolage is in recognition of rhetoric’s fragmentary nature, and in response to Michael Calvin McGee’s call to assemble texts for criticism. I intend to demonstrate that ally advocacy is such a text, manifesting (among other contexts) around the women’s suffrage amendment, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the marriage equality movement.

Bullets whizzed into Powell’s Barber Shop on West 63rd Street as patrons scrambled to hide behind chairs. Sias, 38, a father of five with no gang ties, was struck in the arm and died later at a nearby hospital. Another cus- tomer was wounded in the leg. A federal racketeering indict- ment made public Friday alleged Sias’ May 2016 slaying was one of 10 killings carried out by a South Side street gang faction during a three-year reign of terror in the Englewood community that tar- geted rivals and innocent victims. The 25-page indictment — first reported by the Chicago Tribune — charges four reputed members of the Goonie Boss faction of the Gangster Disciples with racket- eering conspiracy and alleges six attempted murders, two assaults and other violence in addition to the killings — all in or near Englewood from 2014 to 2016.
