Segment 1 - Chicago Public Schools vs The Community, Part II: Citizens of Chicago Wake Up!

As the assault against public education continues in Chicago, strategies for a fight-back are brought forward, including building a city-wide campaign to change from an appointed board to an elected board of education. The leadership of the teachers union must also organize, where it has failed to do so heretofore, a serious challenge to the destruction of jobs and shattering of community control of schools. Anthony Travis, Kenwood High School Local School Council member, warns in the video: "Citizens of Chicago, you need to wake up and realize our community is under siege by some elitist bankers, business people, who do not care about the education of our children." Includes running commentary by George Schmidt, editor of Substance newspaper and footage of community actions.
