Rahm Emanuel recently named Jean-Claude Brizard as the next CEO of the Chicago Public Schools. He formerly headed Rochester, New York’s school system, where he did exactly what Rahm wants him to do here: attack teachers, close schools, hand public schools over to private charter operators.
We know what to expect from him: he’ll continue the campaign to dismantle public education, unless Chicago’s students, parents, and teachers force him and Emanuel to step back.
