Parents Demand Lightfoot Support Chicago Elected School Board Efforts – WTTW (Chicago)

Activists gathered outside City Hall on Wednesday morning. “Let us have democracy in our schools,” said Moises Moreno, director of The Pilsen Alliance. “Last time we were out here, we were talking about in the lame duck session that we had a chance to get this bill passed. But what had happened is that the mayor decided to step in and to act as a political sabotager to stop an elected representative school board.”

These parents do not understand that an elected school board would mean CTU would have total control of the schools. The idea that parents would have more input is a fantasy.
