New Head, Don't be Fooled

CPS Announces Yet Another New Chief 
By Jim Vail


Yet another CPS chief goes down in flames, this one Forrest Claypool who lied and was embarrassed enough by the inspector general to resign from office.

Now we have Janice Jackson, a former teacher and principal who served as the education director at CPS.

Whoever heads the public schools doesn't mean a hill of beans. What matters is who runs the show from the top - the business titans who are hell bent on destroying the public schools and driving the poor - whatever color they may be - out of the city to make room for the wealthy class.

The mainstream media backs the decisions of the ruling class.

Just look at our so-called liberal media radio outlet NPR - WBEZ. They quoted Educators in Excellence in their article on Claypool's resignation, saying they are happy with the appointment of Jackson.

How is Educators in Excellence a representative of teachers? They're not - in fact they're merely a front group set up by the same money that brought us Stand for Children, set up to whack the Teachers Union and destroy our pensions and benefits.

WTTW-Channel 11 - another so-called liberal media outlet on TV can be equally nasty. They are reporting that the CTU's decision to merge charter school teachers into the Chicago Teachers Union means the CTU is no longer anti-charter school. We now love the very entity set out to destroy us.

Perhaps the film to watch this holiday season and put the perspective in the right place is Darkest Hour about British Prime Minister Churchill, who's passion and leadership helped lead the fight to stop Hitler and not surrender. It is possible to win, but you need to first fight.

Churchill did not make deals with the enemy - which the unions and all political reps do every day to sell out the people, just like some British politicians were willing to do with Hitler.

What Churchill said almost 70 years ago should be rallying call for defenders of the people here:

"If this long island story of ours is to end at last, let it end only when each one of us lies choking in his own blood upon the ground."

That's the choice we have to save public education. Make deals and soon we'll be giving the Nazi salute because we 'voted' them in.
