Mayor Daley defends secret school admissions list

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

A secret log of clout-heavy Chicagoans seeking to help kids win admission to elite public schools was a complaint file, not a back-channel admissions process, Mayor Daley said today.

Daley said there was nothing wrong with former Chicago schools chief Arne Duncan’s office maintaining such a log because “no favoritism” resulted from it.

Not everyone is equal in Chicago before the law.
