Well I guess the rich kids can't have public schools anymore- that will show them.

This too shall pass, especially when Sharpton gets his first City Contract

Here's the worst part, the kids are the ones who are going to get SCREWED. First there's these kids they're bussing (oh god, that's just a lovely word to bring into this) up to New Trier. Are they really going to make the 20-30 mile trip every day for school? So they're going to see this great school and be told to go home you can't go here. Then there are the kids at New Trier. Your freshman year starts with busloads of strangers and kids descening on your school to MAKE A POINT. Or your Senior year begins with a media circus. How nice for them. The staff at New Trier are going to have a security nightmare, plus the media, plus all the normal school functions. And if they close up or try to avoid this nightmare, or parents at NT keeps their kids home (god knows I would) takes about 5 seconds for Meeks and company to scream RACISM at the top of their lungs and make it into a riot. And god forbid any kids get hurt in the fracas. In the end, nothing changes, nothing gets better for any of those kids and you just make a big damn mess. We went from W.E.B. Dubois, to Martin Luther King Jr. to this. It's devolution.

This is so dumb on so many levels that I don't even know where to start.

The man is nothing more than a press release in a sharkskin suit. Great freaking line, and oh so true.

Well if Al Sharpton is for it then it must be a terrible, awful and cringe-inducngly bad idea that is filled with FAIL. When he set up shop here I died a little inside. The man is nothing more than a press release in a sharkskin suit.
