chicago pop Castigated by Local LSC Candidate for Not Posting More

posted by chicago pop

In this post, chicago pop engages in self-criticism. He does this with the aim of expunging all reactionary bourgeois inclinations towards laziness and indifference and not blogging about important stuff like the two local LSC elections in which he and his wife just voted.

It doesn't get more grass roots than that, baby.

Because Shoesmith and Murray are both in the throes of some major changes that could go either way. For Shoesmith, that can only be up. For Murray, unfortunately, since the new principal came on and started blowing stuff up, it could quite possibly be down. We wanted to be a part of it. You know what we think about Murray's situation -- we said it here. Some other folks said it here.

That may be too late for folks. Sorry. Life gets in the way of revolutionary blogging. I'm gonna be better, I promise. We'll start with the results of these elections as we get them. What we can say for now, is that the turnout at Murray was impressive, and notably among non-parent, community voters.

That's probably a good sign that recent antics might not sit well among neighborhood people. People who may have sent kids to Murray years ago, or who currently send their kids to Lab or Ancona but still want a high-achieving, diverse, and integrated magnet school in their backyard - not another segregated school that lowers the bar.

Meanwhile, everyone should check out this tumblr blog whatshoulduchicagocallme. It's absolutely hilariously right on about everything to do with the U of C and Hyde Park. Example:
