BREAKING NEWS – Chicago, Illinois – A Chicago mother expressed her frustration over the Board of Education’s vote to remove uniformed police officers from schools in the Windy City, warning not all families are on board with the decision.
Yalila Herrera, who has three out of six of her children in Chicago Public Schools, joined “Fox & Friends” to discuss her reaction to the board’s vote.
“I’ve never realized one important word that comes to mind, and that is choice. This word in particular has been under attack. I constantly say my prayers as I drop off my children, and it’s very disappointing,” Herrera told Pete Hegseth.
The Board of Education responded Herrera’s interview on Fox. “We understand Ms. Herrer’s concerns, but we have examined the situation very carefully,” the Board began. “Thus, we decided to remove the officers from the school, because students sneak guns into school all the time. So, with cops carrying guns, we felt that students who also brought firearms, might feel threatened . We feel with fewer guns, there will be fewer problems. It’s all about math, even though very few kids in our schools can add.”
