Chicago Public Schools used over $47,000 in federal funds for an event “to learn about and celebrate the galaxies of gender, sexuality and love” which taught 10-to-18 year old students how to be activists and reminded them they do not need to ask their parents before changing their name or pronouns at school. A portion of the district’s 2024 Galaxy Summit was sponsored by a HIV pharmaceutical company called Viiv Healthcare, which CPS said paid $9,000 for a catered lunch for students. The company, however, says it sponsored more than just the lunch of the March 2 event and provided resources to students.
