Chicago Public Schools and Charter Schools in the African American Community

Most Chicago Public Schools and Charter Schools in the African American community are up against a culture where education is not a top priority. The average African American parent feels it is the responsibility of their children and the public schools to make sure their children do well in school.

Do you agree or disagree?

Running for Mayor of Chicago?

Mayor Harold Washington

In my opinion anyone running for Mayor or Alderman in Chicago should;

Run to insure that every neighborhood is safe, clean, and with excellent schools.

Run to promote term limits for all Chicago, Cool County, and State of Illinois elected officials.

Run to create lottery tickets where the money goes directly to your neighborhood school.

Run to create boarding schools for all delinquent children and teens.

Anyone running for Mayor or Alderman Chicago should preach reform, reform, and reform!

What do you think?

Take delinquent children out of “the hood”

Hopefully Chicago’s new mayor will be a good politician as well as an excellent sociologist.

Anyone who dares visit parts of the south and west side at night understands the problem. Chicago has too many fractured families and destabilized neighborhoods. The solutions to stabilize these neighborhoods are obvious, but Chicago needs a new bold mayor that will end our embarrassing street crimes.

Some neighborhoods criminals are born and others are made, but all attended the Chicago Public Schools. These children must identified buy the CPS before they become teenagers, and then sent off to a down state boarding school. The mothers or grandmothers of these children must be persuade, or forced to send their delinquent children away.

Hopefully Chicago’s new mayor will take delinquent children out of “the hood”, so “the hood” can become a stable high quality neighborhood.

In my opinion anyone running for Mayor or Alderman in Chicago should;

Run to get Mayor Daley in a run-of election.

Run to promote the idea of term limits for all
Chicago, Cool County, and State of Illinois elected officials.

Run to promote the idea of creating lottery tickets where the money goes directly to the Chicago Public Schools.

Run to promote the idea of creating boarding schools for all delinquent children and teens.

Anyone running for Mayor or Alderman Chicago should preach reform, reform, reform!

Responsibility & Values

Curtis Elementary School
115th & State Street
Chicago, IL

In my opinion African American politicians, preachers, community potentates stunt the intellectual growth of lower income African Americans.

Probably most high achieving African Americans had good parents, who sent their children to good schools, and expected their children to get good grades.

I believe most African American politicians, preachers, community potentates are not interested in making sure low income African American children are sent to good schools where they are expected to get good grades.

Yes, it starts in the home, but some homes ain’t the place where wholesome values are taught. Now this responsibility falls on the public schools, after school, and other programs to teach wholesome values to African American children.

PS Clean and save neighborhoods with excellent schools!

Murders in African American Neighborhoods

The murders in African American neighborhoods are appalling and embarrassing.

We have to take the bad boys from their mothers and send them to a boarding school.

If we don’t send our wayward boys off to a reform boarding school the killings will continue.


Take the boy out of the Hood and the Hood out of the boy!
