Tell the Fat Cats: Get Your Paws Off Our Public Schools

[mejones]

Brief March and Action on 12/18/12

The Fat Cats say schools are “underutilized” and should be closed, but they push at the same time to open new charter schools that they control. They cut from students and teachers to save money, but their companies are still taking tax breaks, contracts, and TIFs that broke the budget to begin with. Stand up: Tell them to keep their paws off our schools!

Rich people always seem to think they know best. When it comes to our schools,
all their brilliant ideas have only made things worse. Rahm listens to them
about the future of our schools, but parents, teachers and students are shut
out.

Until we have an elected school board we need to hold their feet to the fire and ask Rahm why he is so cozy with billionaires but tries to ignore the citizens
