First Day of School!

And right off the bat, we get this:

  • A Chicago Public Schools student is in police custody after bringing a firearm to the first day of class at Whitney Young Magnet High School on the Near West Side, officials said. No injuries were reported.

    In an email to the school community, Principal Rickey F. Harris said, “a gun was identified during our standard entry screening” at the school, 211 South Laflin.

    The weapon was “immediately secured and did not proceed further into the building,” Harris wrote.

    A Chicago Police Department spokesperson confirmed that officers responded to the school around 8:13 a.m. to handle a weapons violation. An “offender” was taken into custody and charges were pending, the spokesperson said.

This is a selective enrollment high school, supposedly populated by the best-of-the-best students that Conehead is currently trying to discontinue, believing all students should be dumbed down to the slowest admitted pupils lest the idiots feel like underachievers. 

As usual, no one will be expelled or held accountable to some extent.

Also, this gun did not disappear from a CPD gun turn-in event....that we know of.

Are we sure "handgun" isn't on the back-to-school supply list?

Whitney Young is filled with young innocent minds and quite a few ghetto residents.

So, Whitney Young Magnet High School has a magnetometer. Who would have guessed.

guessing they had to bring the honor roll student outside to the police since public schools do not like to see the police inside their schools

A "hand gun" is a CPS staple.

This is my second post on your site and I wish teachers had a blog like yours to vent and inform parents, co-workers about what happens in our schools. The first time I wrote about my school, Richard Edwards Elementary School was about one of the teachers, a gym teacher who is under investigation for suspicions of sexual misconduct against female students. I can't believe that fact that he is back in the school as if nothing happened. My understanding is that the investigation is on going. I have reported this teacher to the incompetent principal we have in the past and so many other teachers but nothing gets done. He should not be in our building, he should not be around children what do ever. I'm truly affraid that he will harm one of our students sexually, for all I know he probably has and we don't know.

The city should change the name to Whitney Houston Magnate School in honor of Bobby Brown or Slappy White.

Looks like they caught a gun trying to sneak into the building.

Good work on their part - they caught the gun before it could become violent.

This is a select enrollment high school, supposedly populated by the best-of-the-best students. Well they keep dropping the admission standards so Conehead has a point. Whats the difference?

One thing for sure. By dumbing down the school population they are guaranteeing no shortage of future Illinois politicians.

No longer selective enrollment. More like zip code enrollment. I hope the coppers who looked up poopy pants did a clear and present danger filing with the ISP so he cannot get an FOI in the future.
