The nation’s third largest school district, the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has a total of 681 schools. The announcement follows the plans to shut 26 public schools in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and 15 public schools in the nation’s capital, Washington, DC. Detroit, Michigan has closed 130 schools since 2005, including 40 in 2010, and has plans to close another 28.
These closings are part of Obama’s administration’s program of “school reform,” which is aimed at victimizing teachers, shutting down public schools and privatizing education through the expansion of charter schools.
Thursday’s announcement was made by CPS CEO Barbara Byrd Bennett, appointed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, President Obama's former chief of staff. A total of 54 elementary and middle schools will be closed outright. A number of other schools will be “co-located,” meaning that multiple schools will be combined under one roof.
This while all of the evidence points to charter schools being completely ineffective and are nothing but schemes to rob taxpayers of money to further enrich the billionaire class like the Waltons, Bill Gates, Eli Broad, and others by basically selling off public assets.
It was critical to put a "Democratic" fraud in the White House to allow the destruction of democracy.
Obama and his ilk can go to fucking hell.
