Kids Letters To Santa Daley

Last spring, 2,000 CPS third graders wrote letters to Mayor Daley. Kind of like letters to Santa, except scarier. The kids dispensed some advice to Hizzonah but we'd rather just see the kids put in charge of the City. Sure, maybe they'll go all Lord of the Flies on us, but could they do any worse than the current Mayor/City Council combo?

Fix the potholes...the gang problem is out of hand...the parking around here sucks.

Out of the mouths of babes...

Some real wisdom there. Speak on, kids!

It's unfortunate that Daley will likely never actually read the letters (granted, there are a lot of them...) since he could probably pick up some sentence-building skills.

It's really funny that you think that these kids are saying this of their own accord.

You do realize kids listen to what their parents say and repeat it, right? Or are you so gullible that you believe a 3rd grader knows about torts?
