NEWS: PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO TEACH ON POLICE TORTURE

Chicago Public Schools on Monday unveiled its new curriculum to teach all eighth-graders and high school sophomores about the decades-old torture and brutality by disgraced former Chicago police Cmdr. Jon Burge and detectives who worked under him.

The coursework was mandated as part of the 2015 deal in which the City Council approved a $5.5 million reparations fund for dozens of victims with credible claims of torture by Burge and his so-called "midnight crew" of rogue detectives.

NEWS: MICHIGAN AVENUE'S HARD ROCK HOTEL GETS NEW NAME

The new name, the St. Jane Chicago, pays homage to Chicago social worker and activist Jane Addams, who ran the Hull House on the city's West Side, according to the property's owner.

Rebranding the landmark Carbide & Carbon Building takes a different approach from some other Michigan Avenue boutique hotels that have opened in recent years — such as Chicago Athletic Association on South Michigan Avenue and LondonHouse to the north — that took names from their buildings' colorful history. Addams won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1931, two years after the 40-story Carbide & Carbon Building was completed, but has no connection to the building.

NEWS: 2 CHICAGO BARS WON'T SHOW NFL GAMES IN SUPPORT TO KAEPERNICK

Two bars near Soldier Field say they will stop showing NFL games until Colin Kaepernick is back on the gridiron.

Velvet Lounge, 67 E. Cermak Road, and The Bureau Bar, 75 E. 16th St., announced their NFL boycott on social media Wednesday in support of the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback who kneeled during the national anthem last year in protest of police brutality against black people.

Kaepernick, now a free agent, has remained unsigned in what supporters believe is a conspiracy among NFL owners to keep him out of the league and suppress his message.
