Rahm Emanuel: C/D? (probably going to be a Chicago politics complaint thread too)

this sounds like the worst idea ever

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/08/us/chicago-high-school-graduation-requirement/index.html

it sounds suspiciously similar to what i had to do to graduate high school 25 years ago. i moved to kentucky in my senior year of high school, only to find that someone, somewhere, had decreed that in order to graduate high school there you had to come up with a "portfolio" over your four years of school. i guess so they had something to measure "accomplishment" other than grades? (on the plus side i had plenty of time to put together my "portfolio" as only one of my teachers gave a crap whether i showed up to class or not.)

not really anything new. "hey, our current criteria for success are garbage!" "oh crap, let's make up some new ones quick without first testing to see if they're any more meaningful!"

and that's my uncool conservative idea.

sounds like NCLB in that ostensibly it is designed to not leave children behind and in reality is likely to do just that

Rahm is a bad person

Chance is on the case

Just now at UCLA: after being called out about the cover up of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald's murder by the Chicago Police Department, Rahm Emanuel smugly responded, "I didn't realize there were so many direct flights from Chicago." pic.twitter.com/seRMrkz2Gb

You miserable son of a bitch

I'd tell you to fall in Lake Michigan and drown but I like Lake Michigan too much

Cook County Clerk Dorothy Brown, who is under federal investigation, appears to have issued a news release indicating she will run against Rahm Emanuel for mayor. Only in Chicago.

still maybe a better candidate than garry mccarthy?

I read "indicating" as "indicting" and got excited.

Emanuel: today, the time has come to make another tough choice, I’ve decided not to seek re-election. This has been the job of a lifetime.

The mayor’s announcement takes place as Officer Jason Van Dyke’s trial begins in that case.

Emanuel said he and his wife decided to "write another chapter together" as their three children have left for college.

yes, now that the three children have left the house, it's time to spend more time at home

teenagers are awful, totally understand

Yom Kippur coming up, Rahm, it’s a good time to consider your misdeeds

Wow. But also the story of dude who quit being Chief of Staff to become fait accompli mayor of Chicago. If he's quitting even trying to be mayor of Chicago, no doubt he's got some massive money-making job waiting for him.

hardly surprising but definitely lolsy in the context of every online chicagoan gloating with joy today

I guess you were a little too blitzed on Molsons to have noticed his pre-mayoral employment or this wouldn't have come as much of a surprise to you.

.....hence "hardly surprising" OL

Sorry, blitzed on Molsons rn.

lol

enjoy being maggot food, motherfucker

if you gotta pee on a grave, his would be a good one to choose

Burge was convicted in 2010 for lying about torturing suspects. He was accused of leading the abuse and torture of hundreds of African-American suspects, some by use of a cattle prodder or suffocation by plastic, forcing confessions from dozens.
