Really Dumb Idea

This covers like what....eight people? 

But that's only if you include the groups that progressives don't like:

• City employees and Chicago police officers participating in extremist groups could face discipline and firing under an ordinance proposed Wednesday that aims to root out extremism in city government.

  The Chicago Police Department and Mayor Brandon Johnson have faced growing calls to fire police officers with ties to hate and extremist groups. With those concerns in mind, 47th Ward Ald. Matt Martin, chair of the City Council’s Committee on Ethics and Government Oversight, said the city needs to quickly investigate allegations and end employment for those actively participating in extremist groups.

If they really wanted to root out extremism, they'd have to list a bunch of other groups that might be politically inconvenient to name....like #blm that destroyed tens of millions of dollars in city property or certain gangs that have lengthy histories of bloodshed, violence and narcotics dealing, or the IAD confidential section devoted to covering up exempt crimes.

And unless you can conclusively prove that membership in a certain group affected the way an Officer or other city employee did their job, then you're going end up with a massive civil judgement that Chicago taxpayers can ill afford, especially if you hired them in the first place.
