Great Idea Arne!

With big thinking like this, here's a guy who will be going places:
  • Former Education Secretary Arne Duncan pushed a radical idea on Twitter: Parents should pull their children out of school until elected officials pass stricter gun control laws.

    His tweet came hours after a shooting rampage at a Houston-area high school Friday killed 10 people - a mass shooting that came just three months after 17 students and staffers were slain at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

    When Peter Cunningham, a former education department employee, tweeted that it may be time for parents to pull their children out of school until gun laws are changed, Duncan, the education secretary under former President Barack Obama, responded that his family "is in."

    "This is brilliant, and tragically necessary," Duncan tweeted. "What if no children went to school until gun laws changed to keep them safe? My family is all in if we can do this at scale. Parents, will you please join us?"
So you do it first, then Arne will have his kids join in.....if it's big enough. And gets enough attention. And might be politically expedient for him to claim, "I was for this all along."

Any word on how big a property tax rebate we might expect with schools closed, teachers off, facility staff laid off? And any bets on how many children, unoccupied with learning, might be making trips downtown those days?

Pete Cunningham is one of Rahm's friends. He's from upstate New York and thinks that he knows everything about education. He now lives in Lincoln Park, and his neighbor is a woman named Alana Baum, who is also from New York, but more specifically, Long Island. They both claim to be critical of the Mayor, yet they both cheerlead his each and every decision.

For example, EducationPost had a column by Upstate NY Pete that said "don't count Rahm out, he's making headway."

Also of note, Alana Baum wrote an article urging the black community to support the Mayor, even though he had covered up the Laquan McDonald shooting.

Each of these morons also likes to post negative things about any and all things opposition to the Mayor. Whether it's saying that Paul Vallas is a union-breaker (even though these two stooges are all about school choice), their message points come straight out of the Peter Giangreco cabal, touting a "liberal," and "progressive" Mayor, even though he supports lighting up Palestinians at the behest of the IDF (which Emanuel squirted oil on the tires of, during the first Gulf War).

Adam, Rahm, Alana, and Pete, you can all go get in line at the unemployment line for the State of IL. Your hustle is over, and none of you carpetbaggers is welcome here, ever again.

It's amazing that boneheads like Ducan hold high positions in government. Before you open your mouth you should do some research. Now with the internet it takes seconds or minutes to get some answers. In a two year session of Congress about 10,000 bills are introduced but only four percent (400) become law. It takes about two weeks to three months to write a bill. After going through both houses and being signed by the President it becomes law 90 days after sine die adjournment (Latin for: without assigning a day for a further meeting or hearing. Many bills become law on Jan 1st. the following year. So the more time the children are out of school wandering around, the more they become vunerable to being shot on the streets. A common sense approach to stopping shootings in the school is simple, lock them down, have armed security/police in them ready to take out the gunman. And it should be done forthwith. It's sad that we don't protect our children but we protect every other venue. Duncan is a product of Hyde Park, U of C Lab School, Harvard U, Daley & Obama. What does that tell you. After he left being head of US Dept. of Education he couldn't believe the murder rate in Chicago. So he came back to head Emerson Collective LLC which works on creating jobs and stopping the violence. It would be interesting to see what they have accomplished.

While Arne Duncan was Secretary of Education and Barak Obama was President there were also a shitload of school shootings. Not that each and every one of these isn't a tragedy, never once did Arne or his minion Peter Cunningham who was Arne's Press Secretary both here in Chicago and in Washington D.C. ever call for a nationwide school boycott.
What has changed in the last 15 months that the holier than thou Arne Duncan is at wits end? Let's all take a guess, the evil Republican Donald Trump is President and it's time to show/embarrass the sitting Administration and the NRA that the public won't stand for this anymore. Little politics at play maybe?
If Arne and phony Pete would have come up with this idea after Sandy Hook or one of the other terrible school incidents I would have saluted their concern for the safety of students across the country. But now, I'm just surprised that it wasn't announced on Twitter instead of CNN or HamasNBC. If they would have thought about it, might have gotten a little bit more air time.

Arne Duncan is a complete moron. The man’s educational background stems from him falling into a friendship with a clouted business man in Chicago who was big on charter schools. The clout led to connection with Lil Richie Daly who put him into a job with CPS under Vallas. He took over when Vallas left. And don’t forget his basketball friend Obama who made him secretary of education. A job he held for 8 years because he’s not qualified to do anything else. Now he’s being paid by some think tank.

Okay ya gun-grabbing Leftists and Democrats, I'll play your game.

Let's assume that after the Parkland, FL shooting all your pet Gun Control Laws were rushed into law. AR-15's and all so-called 'Assault Weapons' were banned, Universal Background Checks were enacted, and the 'Gun-Show Loophole' (aka; Private Firearm Sales) was closed. Oh, and Bump Stocks were reclassified as a Class III accessory, which basically bans them from the civilian market.

Then the Texas shooting happened as not a single one of your pet ideas was remotely relevant.

The kid stole his father's Shotgun and his dad's .38 caliber Revolver. Two common firearms that have been around 'forever', and neither of which are an "assault" or "high-capacity" anything.

So now what Democrats and Leftist Gun-Grabbers? What bright ideas are up your sleeves now? Come on... say it... you know you want to.

Yeah, well former Secretary of Education Arnie Duncan's children ain't in any public school. He spends over $30,000 a year on private school tuition for his children to attend the University of Chicago Lab School. He went to the University of Chicago Lab School himself when he was in junior high and high school. He was a class mate of mine, 3 years younger - what a weird kid, his very old mom used to follow him and us around as he tried to be included as an 8th grader on our Fresh Soph basketball team.

So here we have the situation where the Secretary of Education - the man leading our huge, $ multi trillion public school system refuses to ever use the public school system himself or have his own children use the system.

Yet he lectures everyone else that they MUST must "submit" to public school indoctrination and everyone must be Equal and all the shootings, murder and mayhem done mostly by welfare underclass Blacks that he champions, but doesn't want to go to school with.

Well, you know the drill.

If you play this game right you get to grab a $100 million Lakefront public park property to build a 23 story Presidential Library - more like a private palace for Obama's daughters.

What a f*#&*$# country we live in.

They're not "snapping." They don't just go crazy one day and start shooting up schools and making bombs. There are always signs before these things happen. Parents need to do a better job of monitoring what their kids are doing. People would rather ignore obvious signs of social issues and mental issues, than to admit that their child needs help. Mental health problems are a huge problem in this country, but nothing is done to fix it. Then the police are expected to pick up the pieces. God forbid the police come across one of these violent mentally ill people, and need to use force to stop a threat. Then the police are the problem. The system is broken and we're being blamed. Blame the parents, the doctors, the system that keeps failing these people, not the police.

This is just political theater, as in performance art for public consumption. The timing of this is seemingly strange, though. How much of a threat is it to "boycott" school attendance in the tail end of the school year? Not much sense to it at first glance, right?

If they really wanted "safe schools" we would have them. If they really gave a shit about "the children", then the money would be spent for hardened buildings, security upgrades and what not. None of those things are the issue.

The agenda is to restrict or outright abolish the 2nd Amemdment, and all this chatter is set this ul to become the main talking point all summer long. You'll see Fakebook postings and editorials, with lots of word salad speechification by the astroturf activists, and maybe even a media feeding frenzy as the gauntlet gets thrown down: the upcoming school is threatened to be post-poned until the agenda is accepted. That's what I suspect is the real motive.

Why hasn’t the FLOP come to role call and pushed this march on Wednesday. I hate the CTU, but at least those as$holes are organized. When it fails we will look useless. Before every FOP election, everyone claims they will come to role call, nobody ever does....nobody ever will. We’re about to fuck ourselves w a dick so big an elephant could feel it. Thanks FLOP

How about you just show up to the protest and will tell you all about it when you get there. Does the fop really need to come and encourage you? You
need that little push Johnny?? Maybe you want to bring your parents too and have a photo op? Don't worry we will give you a certificate of recognition too.

"That’s why our ‘kids’ are so dumb-they’re ditching their classroom time for continuous walkouts, then are too unfocused the rest of the day. When it’s test time, their pitiful scores are excused by their lack of education enablers ‘for the stress they must endure with the fear of a HS mass shooting throws off their concentration.’"

I'm young enough to have came of age in the first wave of school-shooting culture, and I sympathize with the students. It truly *is* scary and frustrating to be treated like fish in a barrel for some asshole who wants to go out with a bang. Like, have you been in any of the newer government buildings? One wonders if they were specifically engineered to maximize the damage that some asshole with a gun, bomb, car, really anything remotely dangerous could do if so desired. Hell, with some of these sites I figure a sufficiently motivated psycho could kill like 300 kids with a wheelbarrow. But the frustration and anger should be directed where it belongs: at worthless district officials who are aware of a massive security problem but steadfastly refuse to take actual steps toward mitigation like site hardening and decentralization, instead flapping their arms around praying that the social-justice fairy magically make all those big scary guns go away. In the infosec world, when someone like Equifax or Target gets majorly pwned IT professionals don't demand that Washington ban command-line applications or make illegal hacking even more illegal-er. They plug the fucking security hole(s) and get on with it! But I guess that would make too much sense, plus it wouldn't allow tools like Arne Duncan to exploit it for their delusional designs of absolute power over the commoners. I believe the term for this sort of thing is denial, and it rarely ends well.


"Ya know the funny thing about all this , the common thread seems to be bullying in one form or another and then the emotion of helplessness.

Thanks Social Media , thanks electronic babysitters , thanks unengaged parents . We now have a completely disconnected group with little to no coping mechanisms and no support system. But hey lets blaming something right ?"

Dude here gets it. In three sentences, you managed to sum up why 25 years of policy and culture are coming crashing down in spectacular fashion. Too bad the powers that be find said status quo far too profitable to do anything about it.

SCC, off topic but check this out on Crook Sheriff blog. Mark Brown gives cover to Dart after refusing to extradite connected CBOT chairman who fled country to get out of 18 million dollar divorce settlement.

Cook County Sheriff refuses to extradite Former Chicago Board of Trade Chairman who fled country to avoid 18 million dollar divorce settlement.

We gave unconfirmed tips that this guy has ties to Tom Dart's lobbyist brother Tim.. What we do know is their appears to be a major cover-up by high-ranking members of the Sheriff's office. Cara Smith, first falsely informed the media that a Judge in the case told the Sheriff the warrant was not extraditable.. Smith later admitted that Sheriff's office never spoke to the Judge in question. Mark Brown, the author of the article, very charitably calls this a clarification and not a lie by Smith. Brown never mentions his wife works for Dart..

Sun times Columnist Mark Brown has been after this guy for years writing articles about him fleeing the Country avoiding a large civil Judgement. The Sheriff's office lets him go and Brown very carefully slants the article as much as he can to give the Sheriff cover!
Nearly five years ago, former Chicago Board of Trade chairman Patrick Arbor left the country and moved his assets overseas to avoid paying a court-ordered $18 million divorce judgment to his ex-wife.

On Monday, Arbor was arrested in Boston by Massachusetts State Police after he slipped into the country to attend his grandson’s graduation, only to be released again hours later when Cook County sheriff’s officials declined to extradite him.
Arbor, 81, was taken into custody at 1:05 p.m. at Boston College Alumni Stadium by officers serving an Illinois arrest warrant, said Massachusetts State Police spokesman Sgt. Paul Sullivan.

Sullivan said Massachusetts officials then informed Cook County of the arrest. But officials here did not want to bring him back to Chicago, Sullivan said. At that point, Massachusetts police no longer had a valid reason to hold Arbor, he said.
Cara Smith, a spokeswoman for Sheriff Thomas Dart, said sheriff’s officials declined to pursue the matter after checking with Circuit Judge Myron Mackoff, who Smith said had issued the warrant.

Smith initially said the judge had advised the sheriff’s office that the warrant was not valid outside Illinois. She later clarified that sheriff’s personnel made that determination on their own, in part because of confusion over who would pay the cost of returning Arbor.

Yes, because you sure sound like someone who is educated. Imagine this: Chicago Public Schools teachers are doing the same job you are, but dealing with shitheads at an earlier age, and they don't have a gun to defend themselves like you.

The lag time between the starbucks announcement of new policy and the newly welcomed non customers acting upon the invitation can be measured only with an accurate stop watch......calibrated to the one hundreth of a second.......

Oh, to see and hear the deep, penetratingly intellectual conversations this new open wide policy will surely be an effective catalyst in producing..... with the occasional pause in the elucidations of the urgent need to pee......or puke.....or squat and drop a splat.......

Quite the imagination you have there. You have a ridiculously overinflated idea of what teachers do, in comparison to what police do. Imagine this: the streets don't require those shitheads to walk through metal detectors, among hundreds of other major differences. If you think teachers do the same job as police officers, you're delusional. I hope you're not a teacher.

I like your idea, but it needs a bit of tweaking. What you do is buy the gift cards, use them so there's nothing left on them or just a few cents left. Then you give them to the most shit/piss-covered homeless you can find. Then you bring them to Starbucks. That way you get a nice disturbance when the cashier tells them they don't have enough for whatever they order.

What if no children went to school until gun laws changed to keep them safe?

What the Yo-Yo man proposes would be interesting.

Wait until the gun laws are changed. How long would that take?

Well, I figure at least 4 or 5 years of public discussion and debate to agree on a law that MIGHT have a minimal effect. Another year to get through the Congress. Assuming no procedural delays.
So that means that we are looking at an easy 6 years of no school or students.

Teachers: No paychecks. How are you going to pay your bills?
No meal contracts.
No janitor contracts.

The colleges will have no incoming students. Professors and administrators laid off. Buildings, dorms and rental units in college towns vacant with no cash flow.

With no American college grads the job market would be awash in foreign students and workers.

Anyone can see the unfavorable ripple effects through the education economy this would have. No one takes this plan seriously.
