“the fact that rich, white people, think they think they know what’s in the best interest of children of African Americans and Latinos”.

Hey Fat A$$, maybe you should stop taking rich, white folks money then and support your schools by yourself. I know one thing, they should feed you a little less. We white folk must be payin you way too much.

:: I heard that Lewis might run for mayor, in 2015.

Will any conservative and/or Republican run? If so, who will run? I hope that Bill Kelly, Dan Proft, or Dan Schmitt will run. ::

First, I doesn’t appear that Karen will be “running” any time soon, and if she does, it will be move like a fast waddle.

Second, I need to point out your use of the oxymoron “conservative” in conjunction with Chicago/Illinois politics. The Combine is what matters.

Imagine being married to that beast.

I can see you know nothin' 'bout Maine. That's exactly the shape you'd be after. Plenty shade in the Summah, plenty heat in Winta!

Plus, if you had the right harness, you wouldn't be needin' no tractor to snake them big logs offa your woodlot. Save a damn fortune!

“Everybody around here got a Obama PHONE.” And the highest salaries of any teachers I’ve heard of, more than twice what my wife makes. And no accountability to actually teach.

If it makes you feel any better, democrat consultant Stan Greenberg is married to DeLauro and has possibly seen her naked. Count your blessings.

Go back in time to I don’t know, America circa 1959, and show them this, or one day’s news from America circa 2013, and not one soul from that time would believe any of this....none of it. They would believe an episode of the Twilight Zone before they would believe America hs devolved into what we have become.

“When are we going to address the elephant in the room? When will there be an honest conversation about the poverty, racism and inequality that hinders the delivery of a quality education product in our school system?”

Ok, lets talk about the ghetto Blacks that have neither the intelligence nor the temperament to 1.) behave around other people, including other Blacks 2.) generate an above-poverty income 3.) to be educated at a functional level comparable to Whites and Asians.

Chicago district woes are created by the "students" and their parents. If you changed nothing else, same money, same buildings, same teachers but switched all the Chicago kids with Japanese kids do you think they would have all these problems. No way.

I want a divorce from these people.

How much do you want to bet that the Chicago school district is one of the richest in the country, based on the number of dollars spent per student per year.

I don’t know what the amount is, but it seems that many of the worst school districts in the country spend way more per student than successful districts.

It has a lot to do with leftists running the cities and schools. The farther left, the greater the corruption.

Maybe he should have consulted with a sane person before saying “I do.”.

.... cost of feeding that great maw!

I can see you know nothin' 'bout Maine, neithah.

Every Winta day, ya feeds one of these oxen a little less. By Spring, you needn't be feedin'em anything, usually. You train the calf for the next loggin' season.

They’ll be harvesting icebergs in Libya before I’d try that out.

Ayuh, The Iceberg Method might work with her. Keep 9/10s of her under icy water. Be hard pressed myself decidin' which 10th to give air to!

Don’t you feel like the government has tied/handcuffed us to these people,

and any attempt at a “divorce”, separation, or secession

will be met with the utmost possible force?

Back in the 1960's there was an idea floated out there about education, viz,
It was recognized that the African-0American students were doing poorly, largely because of disciplinary problems. So said the gurus at the Ford Foundation, of all places, "...let's put retired, black, armed forces non-coms in each school to act as role models and serve as "Deans of Discipline. Let's have and enforce a dress code. Let's demand performance and civil behavior. Let's end social promotion. Let's shape the kids up!"

The idea lasted about 5 seconds, because even then, the black establishment could not find the honesty to call a spade a spade. Bad behavior was not ever the responsibility of the behaver, but was caused by white racial discrimination; by prejudice. "Give us more money, and we'll fix it."

Well, they got the money, they got to be in charge of EVERY urban school system in the land, filling in many cases, every post from Janitor (a racket) to Superintendent (a bigger racket)and things got exponentially worse.

The responsibility of black schoolteachers is to teach. If the black children given in their charge are not learning, it is THEIR responsibility to fix it. Our problem. Their responsibility. It's why they are paid.
