In late March, the Chicago Board of Education announced an ambitious plan to implement its "turnaround" model for three low-performing elementary schools in poor, predominantly black neighborhoods.

The turnaround process involves the sacking of every teacher and staffer at each of the schools, according to an email from the Chicago Teachers Union obtained by The Daily Caller.

Naturally, the union bosses aren't happy that the nation's third-largest school district is employing such sweeping measures to improve some of its worst schools.

Still reeling from the closure of 50 schools in 2013, embattled Chicago Teachers Union Karen Lewis called the turnaround plan "a slap in the face to those of us who are attempting to negotiate for more resources" and "nothing more than school closings by another name."

The email from the teachers union also suggested that the effort to improve the schools is an effort spearheaded by Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett to damage black children and black families.

"This is an attack on Black schools that continues the assault carried out by" Byrd-Bennett "last year, when she closed 50 schools (claiming they were the last closings for at least five years)."

Byrd-Bennett is black.

"After closing 50 schools, now we find three campuses more on the chopping block while the mayor continues his televised propaganda campaign of promoting these disastrous policies," Lewis, a Dartmouth graduate, fulminated.

Stupid people always vote Dim, it's a given.

How many years of watchdog efforts went into studying these failing schools, before the unions were sidestepped and a more responsive outside team brought in? Why should parents not accuse the unions of racism, for such poor results by the union slugs? Their failure dooms countless black children. In Detroit alone there is a FUNCTIONAL ADULT ILLITERACY RATE OF 47%. That's failure only a Democrat could fail to understand.

Dems are so desperate that all they have is the race card, even if the move is obviously ridiculous.
