The State of blog talks about this coming boycott starting off with...
Illinois is the seventh richest state in America but is next to last on public school funding. That’s one reason why some African-American community “leaders” are telling many families to keeptheir kids at home on the first day of school on September 2nd. Last week a group of city ministers called the Boycott “morally wrong.”
And then closes with this...
The State Of . . . the boycott. This is real ol’ school, but can it be effective. How ill missing one day of school go toward fixing school funding? Wouldn’t it be better if these same families voted for politicians who would actually fund their schools? Or would it be better for these families to get together and start their own charter schools?
ADDITION:
The Capitol Fax has more about this court action.
