Bill Ayers, reincarnated ACORN ask United Nations to intervene in Chicago school closings
The Daily Caller ^ | July 27, 2013

Posted on 07/27/2013 9:29:29 AM PDT by george76

Noted American terrorist and left-wing radical Bill Ayers is among the signatories of a letter calling on the United Nations to probe the closing of 49 Chicago elementary schools based on claims that it is causing massive human rights violations.

...

In 2009, the Chicago City Council passed a resolution adopting the international body’s Convention on the Rights of the Child, notes WBEZ. The resolution instructed all city agencies to develop policies consistent with it.

Kalantry told the public radio station that the nation and the city must now act in accordance with these covenants.

...

The Chicago Teachers Union, which staged a strike last fall for higher wages and to protect employees from layoffs, has been furious about the closings. In June, union president Karen Lewis gave a blistering speech excoriating racism and ‘rich white people’ for the financial crisis facing the city’s schools.

Actually, that link I supplied reveals the inner city Chicago schools get more per capita than the schools in the suburbs do.

That should open a few eyes.

I should mention that report was from the 2001 time frame. A lot could have changed since then, but I doubt it did.

So- that was why the friends of Obama have bankrupted Chicago and the schools...

Makers perfect sense.

And the churches and the “conservatives” in Chicago who are afraid of being unhip so they are liberals, helped Bill Ayers, help the UN take over Chicago.

Hope they all enjoy it.

I don’t understand why there isn’t black flight out of Chicago, Detroit and other such cities.

The reason they want to close some of the schools in Chicago is for lack of students, the teacher’s union wants them kept open, students or not.

Bill Ayers. Another “progressive” terrorist maniac that wants to change America for the better. He’s like a Mao or Stalin that never made it to the big leagues of power. Instead he has to ride in the sidecar with Obama.

He should have been tried and executed for his crimes, preferable by hanging.

Thanks for the info, liberals tend to say that we need to spend more money on whatever problem they are talking about. How about shifting the debate, to discussion of how the schools are spending the money they already get???

How is it that rich white people are the cause of problems of Chicago schools?
Are rich white people who don’t live in Chicago supposed to give more money? What does she want to see happen?

White people who live far from Chicago cause problems for that city's schools by being born to special racial privilege, of course. Everybody knows that. Every time a white kid attends a halfway decent school, some poor, deserving, pitiful, helpless black kid is deprived of an education. The only "socially just" solution is to loot the national treasury and hand all the money to self-appointed "community organizers" and "union leaders" in inner cities. They'll see it's properly invested in the future.

How can people believe such patently stupid stuff? Once upon a time, Jim Crow had its proponents, too.

The natives would kill the un troops and par boil them in their pretty little blue helmets.

When the voting morons become the majority the end is inevitable. Look at Detroit.

UN directing local school districts? Creepy.

The UN is extremely satanic.

Is he really that stupid?

Or that dangerous?

Shouldn't he have to wear some special hat or shirt to let the unsuspecting know where he's coming from?

Judging from the tell-tale tilt of the head, could he be Obama's long-lost father?
