Major US cities are experiencing outbreaks of violence caused by armed gang members. These thugs are masked and dangerous. They attack and kidnap people off the streets and at their places of work. The group should be designated as a domestic terrorist organization. They call themselves ICE.

Public schools can’t afford to lose more teachers. Black teachers make up only 6% of the profession and are leaving at higher rates. Stress, lack of respect, and pay gaps (earning about 6% less than white peers) are driving them out.
