Wilma,
Have you seen the latest from Chicago?
http://www.suntimes.com/news/10815524-418/board-of-education-oks-shake-ups-for-17-schools.html
Our brothers and sisters from Occupy Chicago are standing in solidarity
with students, parents, and teachers. Knowing Chicago's history, this
might be the first place where teachers and parents are tazed and pepper
sprayed in large numbers.

Chicago recently implemented the same "permit rules" as our very own
Parks and Recreation. Isn't that a strange "coincidence?"
Peace and solidarity,
Glenn

I for one am VERY happy about this.
Unfortunately those parents and children who do NOT have the money and
the clout behind them will lose their neighborhood schools and be
herded into corporate charter schools IF they would have them. They
will also be "counseled out" and have decreasing choices for their
education if charters do not keep them. The attrition rate for
African-American students, particularly males, is quite high for
corporate charter franchises.
Segregated, (mainly charter schools), have increased at a rate not
seen since BEFORE the Civil Rights Movement. The remaining public
schools are rundown, neglected from the siphoning of public funds to
corporate charters.
Thankfully, Parochial School children have averted this fate because
the right people support them. I just wish it could be so for public
school poor children of color.

Also just announced on WPHT 1210 5:00 PM news, based on strong alumni
support. I was with Fr Marrone Wed nite; he was anxious for an answer.
His hard work and that of many others has been rewarded, but the
stewardship will have to be continuous.
