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".

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.

Severe cognitive dissonance happening here. How can his heart be in the right place when he supports killing babies and recruiting our kids into sexual deviancy. He is a democRAT after all. DemocRATs are either stupid or evil. usually both

God Save America (Please)
