Job coaches should be checked out by teachers, parents, and other citizens that are in charge of the agency in order to be sure that they do not have a criminal record. Job coaches should be interviewed by parents in order for their loved ones to be protected. Job coaches and parents should work together and help each other so the next generation can have jobs in the community. We should make sure the job coach treats people equally. Job coaches should be able to find clients that are reliable and responsible. A disabled citizen should tell you about how a job coach has inspired them. They s ..read more

The red light speeding cameras that are on the city streets and suburban roads are not needed as much as security ones. The tax money should be available for police cameras to prevent and make sure we are safe. Because there is so much crime around here, those cameras will help. Good behavior on the road is important. Cameras should be used in investigations that are even more important than speeding. Footage can help make sure that whoever did the crime can be caught so there are no false arrests. It is better to help taxpayers save money by putting police cameras on the highways, the inters ..read more

President Biden did a great job in compromising with Russia in order to bring Brittney Griner home. It was great to see her back with her family. Hopefully we can have more positive news stories like this in the future ..read more

There are better ways to solve disputes than using a weapon. It is a sad shame that the police and our court system are not able to solve things. The easiest way to stop violence is to ask everyone to make an appointment with a mental health professional. The mayor or governor should meet with President Biden to get a solution on how to handle the gun problem and get money for mental health providers. This is starting to not make any sense. There is not enough leadership. After so many cases of gun violence, including in the suburbs, the police, mayor, and others are still not taking things ..read more

People should not be judged by their sexuality. There are teachers, coaches, police, firefighters, babysitters, students, caseworkers, caregivers, bus drivers, and many others who are all part of the LGBT community. Some people are not sure about themselves because of their sexuality. As long as people are not abusing others, like some priests, rabbis, police, or health care and nursing home workers have, their sexuality is their own personal decision and business. I hope this post will educate my readers and professionals about issues impacting the LGBT community.  Pride Month was a tim ..read more

Violence and hate are a huge problem. The authorities are not able to handle the crime in Chicago. All of these shootings are like a pandemic! When is this going to stop? Look at the ways this world is so messed up! Even the police are part of the problem. If you need the police, you should not get abused. People should be treated equally no matter what their race is. We need to think positive and be kind to one another. Violence is not the answer. All these misunderstandings are a waste of time and are no reason to take a life. It is all so tragic. A violent criminal is not using their best ..read more

 Chicago Public Schools are going back! During this cold weather, it is important to use hand sanitizer. After all of the pain and frustration, wearing masks among their own peers will be important for students. But above all we should hope they have hand sanitizer available in all of the hallways. Parents should also be sure to tell their teens and preteens to wash their hands before meals! I like the fact that our high schoolers can return back to campus safely. They just need to make sure that they are focusing on their work and staying healthy and safe, instead of being on their cell ..read more

Getting the vaccine to American citizens all over the map is important. I am confident there will be a big shipment soon. Hopefully there will be no more deaths. Let’s hope our store owners keep their heads up and we see more vaccines for our frontline workers. This was Biden’s campaign promise! As someone who voted for Biden and Harris, I trust they will follow through. Johnson and Johnson, Moderna, and Pfizer all have vaccine options. My best wish is for storeowners to reopen, as well as schools. The mayor should not rush anything. Let the president do his job! The airlines that are transp ..read more

I knew from the beginning that we did not have a good leader. He was more like a dictator! You could look at his cabinet and see that he did not have good people. Now the riot at Capitol Hill shows what kind of people his followers are. I have never seen a leader provoke violence like Trump! History was made on that terrible day. The Capitol Police should have been better prepared for the protesters. Washington DC is a beautiful place with amazing memorials. We need to make sure that it is safe and not destroyed. I would like to be able to see teachers taking Junior High School students to th ..read more

Right now, it may not be safe for students to learn in person. Our best hope is if the CDC sends shipments of the vaccine to Chicago Public Schools and to suburban schools for teachers and other staff members. There will be better days coming soon once teachers and staff at all institutions have the vaccine. I cannot wait until people in the whole city and suburbs, along with their businesses, social services, and programming can go back to their place of employment. Developmentally disabled citizens and people with special needs will get services they require. Sons and daughters should be g ..read more
