Helpless Mayor Blames School Violence On Parents, Feds (Again) - District 299:
"Then Mayor Daley came on and blamed everything on family problems, privacy laws, and...well, anyone but himself. There is no violence problem...or if there is it's not his fault. It was an amazing performance. Completely self-serving and convenient, full of false indignation and distractions. You'd think he wasn't mayor.
Gayle read a letter from a CPS teacher (good job!) that says 'Fenger is just a microcosm of what occurs every day in some CPS schools and in schools nation-wide. Reform after reform has yet to provide many of our children with some education foundation that is badly needed.'
Daley's response was to defend the principal of Fenger and assert that there was no real violence problem in the schools. Which would be an appropriate defense if it were true and if Daley weren't in charge of the schools AND the streets.And would be more believable if there hadn't just been a violence summit."
