This article is about the layoff of 500 Chicago teachers. Budget cuts have been made over the years causing a lot of teachers to be laid off.

That is very crazy to hear. Of course budget cuts occur all the time at schools but something as grave as letting go over 500 teachers is quite absurd. I mean I guess if they felt that they had to do that then so be it but without teachers then who will be teaching the students of the future?

It's crazy to hear about so many teachers getting laid off, I mean we need education for now and the future. It's mind blowing to know that we have such a poor system for teachers, I feel like they should get paid way more than what they get they spend more time with our children than we do.

This article shows you through cartoon and facts on how food in America is leading to the reason why obesity is so common here. It shows in one of the summary that a school can consider pizza as a vegetable because of the tomato paste they use as sauce and how we are so used to the GMO in foods that the organic stuff doesn't taste as good to use and makes people not want to buy it, not to mention the higher price of the food that is better for you.

To me that wasn't very shocking. I know that mountain dew is banned in Europe because of a toxic chemical(brominated vegetable oil BVO) that is illegal in Europe to use in food. And there are many more I know of. It is scary that in this country nobody really cares about educating people about what they eat. What is worse is that the perception is, that the government doesn't give a damn about what is in our food.

It's so sad to see America keep rising on the list for obesity. It honestly makes me scared to eat certain foods. Foods with GMO's are nearly no where near what they used to be. They used to be so mild and didn't have all of the other crazy chemicals in them. I wish we would go back to how it used to be. I can't wait to get my own house so that I can have my own little chickens and my own garden.

Many people don't realize it, but the United States government does not control the United States currency. The Federal Reserve is a private business. The crazy part is that the way our monetary system works is the same way the English banking system worked back in the day. In fact, that was one of the reasons for the Revolution in the first place

Outside groups spend millions during an election to influence voters' decisions with dark money. The integrity of our elections and the potential for the mega rich to control what information is publicized can lean the balance of power to a few groups and their intrests.

I remember my government teacher mentioning that's stuff like this goes on, and I think it is very wrong! It's crazy and not right to see how much money is now being spent on presidential campaigns.

As the years pass, family violence seems to be more common. A home is meant to be a safe pace, but sadly in certain situations it can be scary. It is crazy to think that in other countries family violence is not a crime. The most important issue stated in this article is of course young children raised within these negative households. The rate of them becoming violent later in life is very high.

Since 1972 the ACLU has been working to secure gender equality and ensure that all women and girls are able to lead lives of dignity, free from violence and discrimination, including discrimination based on gender stereotypes.

The fact that women and other people in our country and other countries have to even fight to be equal is disgusting. We are all the same and deserve to be treated the same. The fight must continue.

It is crazy to think that in 2017 that we as humans can't treat one another the same as you would want to be treated yourself. I am not a woman but I do have a wife and daughter that I would hate/despise if they were treated any less than myself for any reason.

15 true stories of the torment kids went through while they were kidnapped. These are children that were taken and lived to tell the story.

Wow, these stories are so sad. I can not even begin to imagine what it must have been like. It makes me happy that these 15 kids made it through those horrible situations and are able to talk about it today. Although those tough situations make you a stronger person, these kids were able to have families of their own and that is a good thing. It is even more sad to know that there are thousands of other kids out there going through the same thing if not worse at this very instant.

Reading stories like this just make you cringe. It's crazy to think that this is a major issue in our day. It's good to read and see how they live after they go through this traumatic experience.

This website gives a great snapshot of the history of Women's Rights. All the way from 1848-1998.

I enjoyed reading this article and learning more about how women had to fight so hard to be treated with the same respected, or to get paid the same as man do. It's crazy to think how far they have gotten.

Big pharma companies have taken advantage of everyday Americans in need of their daily support during the chaotic times we live in. Many of the drugs used each day to help patients fighting Covid-19 have drastically gone up in price since the first case appeared in america. With these prices changes many Americans may not be able to get the proper help needed to get better, and as such may extend the time needed for us to fight off the virus as a whole.

It is crazy to think that companies would prioritize profits over the help of the people. I understand the demand; however, it shouldn't be the only reason for the increase in price.

When I read this article I thought to myself wow this is insane but to actually think about it, why? why is it so important to profit from something everyone in this world needs

Extreme poverty was at the highest in the year 2020. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic millions of people lost their jobs and other things which led them to be poor.

The numbers here are staggering. It's heartbreaking how many people are suffering because of the pandemic.

It's crazy to see the amount of people who have been affected by this deadly virus and the situation it has caused. It should provoke the leaders of each nation to act and control the virus.

This article explains the racial differences in earnings in America. It also discusses how the wage gap has differed over time.

Its crazy to see how the Us has not completely advanced on moved on from the same issues that were present back in the day. Inequality is a problem that has never left the country and needs to be both discussed and solved.

Interesting to see the gap slowly close as time goes on. One can only hope one day the gap will completely disappear and we can all have a seat at the table together.

This article talks discusses how we are bombarded with information. People seem to be drawn to articles that cause high emotion and they feel compelled to react. However, we really can't tell what is real anymore. Information changes constantly, and people are becoming indifferent to what they see or hear.

This article really spoke to me, personally I have found that I cant really trust the news or really any source of information as they are both are always going in different directions. Great find!

This article brings to light a crazy social norm. It is very difficult to truly know what is real without first-hand knowledge. It is very sad that we don't know who or how to trust anymore.

NBC News talks about the increase of gun violence in the U.S that has been growing since April of 2020, and has yet to see a decline. It also dives into discussion on gun control, purchasing of fire arms and even the horrible events that had transpired from gun violence in the U.S.

It's crazy how gun violence is the biggest issue now. How many feel unsafe from others and the policeman.

The article informs readers how climate change is causing more severe natural disasters such as stronger hurricanes. Methods to be prepared for such tragedies are being looked at.

The greenhouse effect refers to the way the Earth's atmosphere traps and absorbs solar energy

More people need to show attention to these issues and start caring before the world goes into a state that we can't turn back from or fix.

Amidst the global pandemic, Arizona states students are failing statewide tests in both English and Math this spring with alarming numbers. Education officials had previously advised "extreme caution" in regards to making conclusions based on the number of cases. Disruptions to in-person learning during the pandemic due to the dramatic impact on student learning suggest "inferences may be invalid", according to the department. This years tests also painted a demographic split as White and Asian students passed these exams at twice as POC students. COVID-19 pandemic has had a disparate impact on communities of color, both economically and in loss of life.

That's crazy to hear Covid has had such a negative impact on students performance in school, it's really disheartening. It is a rough transition going from learning in school, then trying to teach yourself through online school in quarantine, it's definitely not for everyone.

This article focuses on how the overpopulation and water scarcity will cause us to face problems with our food resources. The author proposes plans that we can follow to reduce the problem.

This was honestly eye opening seeing how much water is used everyday for even the most simplest of things. Reading about how much water it takes to produce food and how much of ends up being wasted in alarming. I recommend this article for anyone who has a topic that relates to this social issues at it provided in depth details on the matter. It's crazy knowing how much water we use daily without knowing how valuable it is, especially now.

The article is so true about water scarcity being our demise, it will be such an catastrophe for the food crisis to strike especially in Arizona. The drought plays a huge part in supporting water scarcity, it dries out our lands and empties out the rivers. There are some good solutions to how to resist against climate change.

This article serves to shine a light on the freedoms and rights that many homeless individuals are denied. From voting, discrimination, privacy, all the way down to the right of liberty. Highlighting the most at-risk persons and those affected the most.

It's crazy that we have this issue when the number of vacant home FAR surpasses the amount of homeless.

Conserving water is a must. We need water to do most of our living. We really don't think about water when we wash our hands, taking a shower, or even watering our lawn.

Agreed! Water is essential for everyone and we are wasting tons of it. Lots of us not even knowing! We recently had a person from our water company come to our home and tell us we were using too much water. Turns out we had a toilet constantly running. Makes you wonder how many other places are affected not even knowing.

Wow, the US used 170 gpd per capita while other counties like Australia only use 36! That is crazy. I completely agree that we should limit our water usage not just because it is wasteful, but also in my article it pointed out the benefits on our ecosystem.

Homelessness is a problem places all over the world face and continue to face as it grows almost every year. There is no single root cause to homelessness, just multiple factors that can lead to one becoming homeless. The article discusses different causes as well as people who would be affected by it.

Homelessness is sadly a big issue across the world and it's a shame that it has so many causes that affect everyone affected differently. For some, it can even come down to bad luck and that is just crazy to think about.
