School protestors take complaints to Mayor Emanuel’s neighborhood

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Hundreds of anti-school closing protestors marched past Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s house Monday, holding candles and wearing stickers over their mouths saying “silenced.”

Organizers charged the mayor and schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard had ignored their cries to halt school closings and to put resources into schools to prevent their closure — rather than after a shakeup.

A crowd of what appeared to be more than 500 moved from an angry rally at Lakeview High School, west along Irving Park and then down the mayor’s quaint Hermitage block.

Great moments in public education.
