Union Boss: Rahm Runs Racist Public School System That "Use Little Black and Brown Children as Stage Props"

The Chicago Tribune reports:
In the wake of recent school closings and teacher layoffs, Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis took aim Tuesday at the two R’s of her education reform effort — racism and revenue. Lewis, speaking to the City Club of Chicago, did not directly criticize Mayor Rahm Emanuel. But she went after his kitchen cabinet of educational advisers as wealthy “elites” from the venture capital and corporate world and questioned what “rich white people” know about what’s in the best educational interests for minority children.
No word yet on this story from rich , white guy, Rahm Emanuel who sends his kids to a private school to avoid integration.
