DC's Non-Search for Rhee's Replacement
In a city where the mayor acts as Dictator of Public Schools, the thing that got the previous mayor into the weeds with parents was acting like the dictator he was. From the current "process" underway now to ensure the continuation of the Rhee regime, minus the radioactive personality, it would appear that Mayor Gray has learned nothing.
Instead of conducting a national search, Gray has allowed the Eli Broad stooges from CityBridge Foundation to put together a "search committee" to hold a praise session for the only applicant, Kaya Henderson. Oh yes, there were ideas galore for how the new chancellor could "communicate" better, such as bowing as she presents the Broad Boys' plans to the parents, and smiling rather than snarling and snapping at microphones.
Why, they filled up numerous "20 easels of paper" with ideas on how the new chancellor, whomever that could be (wink, wink), could be more collegial than commandant-ish.
At the end of the 5 hour meeting, not even a vote was taken as to whether the Mayor's only choice (as if he had one) would be chosen. The backroom Billionaires have already decided.
Another charade for the parents and teachers of DC to reject outright. Let the Spirit of Cairo continue to remind
