One of the ONLY things Hussein can pin his name on as an “accomplishment” … should he dare pin his name beside that of the minor ‘acquaintance’ and unrepentant 1960s domestic terrorist William Ayers … is in quite a cluster-fuck up and over there in Chi-town.Do we really want this man in charge of ANYTHING on a national/federal level?

Do we really want this man anywhere near the CiC chair of our military? Healthcare? Social Security? Taxes?

And do we really want to take the additional risk of exactly what kind of people he will put in charge of such things inside this country?

Obama’s Compatriots Call on Chicago Public School Students to Skip First Day

(Common Sense and Wonder)

As if truancy weren’t already an issue, Chicago community leaders, like State Senator James Meeks, are calling for students to skip the first day of school to protest the fact that “only” $10,000 is spent per student compared to $17,000 in suburbs. Seems that a lot can be done for $10,000. The problem is a lot of it is wasted by having too many non-teaching bureaucrats in the school system.

Even worse, thousands of these students are expected to be bussed to the leafy suburb called Winnetka in order to try to “enroll” in the high school (an area where the Chicago parents pay no taxes and Winnetka parents pay disproportionately high taxes). I hope Senator Meeks will be held personally responsible for any damage done (as well as any anti-white racism) in Winnetka by the thousands of inner city youths bussed there in order to “protest”.

Some Chicago students to skip school in protest

CHICAGO - Hundreds of school children and their parents are gathering on Chicago’s South Side to begin a mass school boycott of the city’s school system.
State Sen. James Meeks says he expects the protest to run at least until Friday. He is organizing the boycott to draw attention to funding disparities in Illinois public schools.

Buses are lined up to take the students to the northern suburb of Winnetka where they’ll attempt to enroll in more affluent schools.

Gillie Beal brought her 12-year-old grandson and says she just wants him to have the same access to teaching materials as suburban children.

Obama-Ayers: Failed Chicago Schools Under Ethnic Identity Agenda

(Stop The ACLU)

The University of Illinois released documents yesterday that propelled this conversation forward. Barack Obama and Weatherman terrorist Bill Ayers, who spent a number of years on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List, were the leading powers behind a massive educational reform for the city of Chicago. Then Secretary of Education, William Bennett stated that the Chicago educational system was the worst in the Nation.

William Ayers prepared the proposal that got the seed money for the education reform program that would become the Chicago Annenberg Challenge - some $50M from the Annenberg Foundation, which was then matched by philanthropists and business interests - to total over $100M for Chicago’s failing school system.

With the money came the need for a organization - hence the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) was formed. The Chairman of the Board was Barack Obama. William Ayers was an ex-officio board member. The two attended meetings together…how often is not yet known.

Obama and Ayers presided over a very powerful political duo: The CAC headed by Obama and The Collaborative, co-chaired by Ayers.

It allegedly worked like this: “Programs” would apply to the CAC for an educational grant. Some programs were chosen, and others were not. Before the CAC was disbanded, almost all, if not all, of the monies were spent.

Kurtz, reading from yesterday’s released documents, gave these examples of who or what received the grants:

Chosen to receive a grant:
The South Shore African Village Collaborative for their “Celebrate African-American Holiday of Juneteenth” (celebrating the Emancipation Proclamation). Some African-Americans celebrate Juneteenth instead of the Fourth of July (a report fromTexas). Kurtz commented that in his reporting of Obama’s previous church, Trinity United Church of Christ, some members told him that Juneteenth was their Independence Day, not Fourth of July (Kurtz did not say that all members held this view).

Turned down to receive a grant:
*The Chicago Algebra Project: goal to increase student achievement

*The District 5 Math Initiative: goal to aid Hispanic students in the process of learning English, to further learn math and science.

Kurtz characterized the information he viewed as showing grant preferences for ethnic identity projects. The grants were evidently not given to schools, but rather to “external partners,” to which schools sought to attach themselves - such as a South Shore African Village Collaborative.

In the meantime, after “external partners” received millions, ethnic identity didn’t help math and science scores. It is interesting to note that this Chairman of the Board position was Obama’s first “executive” experience.

There’s more: Obama’s connections to the Gamaliel Foundation, Kurtz says has a “core point” advocating for a form of “liberation theology.” He further states that his research shows that Jeremiah Wright’s Black Liberation Theology preaching is not an anomaly.

Kurtz refers to a book written by Dennis A. Jacobsen, Doing Justice - Congregations and Community Organizing. This book, according to Kurtz, embodies the views of the Gamaliel Foundation. Further he asserts that Greg Galluzo, “the most important figure” in the Gamaliel Foundation, approves Jacobsen’s book, and is also an Obama mentor. Kurtz believes that Obama was a teacher at the Gamaliel Foundation before Jacobsen wrote the book. Kurtz does not know whether Obama has read the book.

The last portion of the interview was given to callers and emails, most of which were angry that Kurtz was allowed radio time. One emailer confused Kurtz with Weekly Standard editor, Bill Kristol, referring to “the vile traitor Bill Kristol.” Another asked about FCC oversight of the “unbalanced” station.

It was striking that few callers had anything to say more than the email’s talking points. Some pulled out the constant whine that Obama was only eight years old when the Weathermen were bombing our U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, the State Department building, etc. They further pointed out Obama has “denounced” William Ayers. He did not, however, denounce him until he was forced to for the sake of his political campaign, and he wasn’t eight years old when he and Ayers began their educational reform.
