When living in Chicago in the late 1980's, and going through another strike by public school teachers, the school superintendent (D. Sharon Grant) had the gaul to announce that she was angry because "her kids were not in school due to the strike". Less than a week later, it was found by a reporter that her kids attend private school. She was forced to resign her position beause of this.

Look at how many public school OFFICIALS send their children to private schools. Makes you wonder sometimes. Of course, democrats want uneducated kids to become uneducated adults, so that they will vote democrat.

Paul Vallas, the superintendant of the Chicago Public Schools for a number of years and recent candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor in Illinois spoke at an awards breakfast on Wednesday for my child's private Christian HS. He told us that all of his childern were in our school system and then went on to say that his wife forced him to allow it. He praised our system so as to get the support of the voters there and was still able to shift the decision to his wife so as to retain the votes of his Democratic allies. Pretty standard trick for politicions.

I only single him out because I was there, but it is standard operating procedure for politicions from the White House to aldermen.

The rest of his remarks were acceptable if somewhat self serving IMO. All in all he seemed like a decent person who's heart is in the right place but who's ideas of governance are misguided.

Exactly! "... democrats want uneducated kids to become uneducated adults, so that they will vote democrat. 1. Dems are owned by the Unions (NEA) 2. A population not equipped to compete in today’s world will need more governmental assistance and more welfare which feeds to democratic constituency!
