Ben Joravsky is the best journalist covering education in Chicago today.
In this post, titled “Mayor Emanuel’s FOIA Policy: Don’t Ask, Because We Won’t Tell,” Joravsky shows how a public school parent sued to find out basic facts about major decisions.

Read this for a demonstration of the arrogance of power.
