In this video, a father tells a scary story to his little girl as he tucks her in at night.
It is about the greedy Fatcats who are trying to close Chicago’s public schools and take them private.
This is a creative use of social media to educate the public.

I can’t argue with the video. But, it is short on details on how the fat cats profit. In my little grammar school district, they insisted on busing. We had a nice sense of community with a neighborhood school concept. The schools were no over crowded and no racial balance was needed. It was so “Teachers of the same grade could compare notes.” Interesting since most grammar school classes are self contained. Busing is now 11% of the budget and the last thing they will ever cut. My former school has a convicted felon for buildings and grounds. The head of security is a fired Chicago policeman. He lied on his application. The list goes on and on. Schools provide a lot of patronage jobs. I could always point out a dozen job changes with every new school board elected. CTU needs to print a scandal newspaper siting facts and not just generalizations.
