Why would it hurt them? Most of them are out in the hood working at being baby daddies, dealing, and shooting at each other anyway. The few with intelligence of any kind might be screwed by the closings but wouldn’t be if the kenyan dictator had signed off on charter schools/vouchers.

The country might be a lot better off if Chicago and Detroit both fell into a giant sinkhole that could be filled with sand for a clean start.

I would amend the sinkhole statement. To properly expunge either of those two crapholes would involve kerosene and a lot of stirring while burning; the proper way to take care of overfilled outhouse holes.

According to the Chicago Police blog that I read, these schools, located in the black neighborhoods of the south and west side of Chicago, have low enrollments of kids because the blacks are moving out of the south and west sides of Chicago..some of them who have brains and want to live, are bailing of of these ghetto war zones. So the Chicago Teacher's Union is complaining, ‘cause then some of their dues-paying teacher's in these areas will wind up without jobs. And so the union calls it “racist”...”you're picking on poor black kids and denying them their education,” ignoring the very fact that it's not practical, not financially feasible to keep open a school that has low enrollment. So, it's the same old bs from the same old mouths of the same old “left.”
