EAGNews- CHICAGO – Parents and social justice activists in Chicago’s Washington Park neighborhood are starving themselves in an attempt to force Chicago Public Schools to adopt their “global leadership and green technology” plan for Dyett High School.
CPS voted to close Dyett High School in 2012 because of years of abysmal academic performance and declining enrollment, with plans to reopen the campus in 2016-17 as a new school, Progress Illinois reports.
According to school data on Niche.com, Dyett High School boasted a graduation rate of 42 percent, with roughly 10 percent of students proficient in math or reading. WGN-TV reports 13 students received diplomas in its graduating class last year. More
Looks like it might take awhile for some of them to die.
It also looks like a lot of them graduated from that same school.
“…social justice protesters are sitting at the school and consuming only water and “light liquids”…
I’m assuming “light liquids” includes beer, etc.
Party on, Garth!
They’re already looking a little gaunt. I bet they won’t last must longer. The humane thing to do is to cram some tubes down their throats and force-feed them.
Last I heard, the Chicago Public School system was over a billion…yes, a billion in the red, and NONE of the schools may open in the fall. Looks like the only physical activity these people engage in is this exercise in futility.
They’ll just eat the skinny people.
Chicago’s over-achievers
(the ones who survive the week-end shootings).
Don’t any of them have houses in their own neighborhoods they can burn down instead?
Party on, Dave!
Most of ’em look like they could afford to miss a few meals.
One to a chair, ladies, one to a chair…oh, sorry..
There’s some real porkers in that picture. The Mooch will not be happy with these people. They’ve never missed a meal in their life. Yep, they need to get green themselves, like eat lots of lettuce and spinach and stop eating that fried chicken and watermelon. High in fat and sugar.
Some of us should go down there with a bucket of KFC, potato salad, some malt liquor, cornbread and butter, and sit there and eat all the while staring at them. I’d do it too if I didn’t live so far away.
Someone should explain what 10% proficiency means. I’m pretty sure they don’t know. I’m not seeing high IQ people.
They would then go home after hitting a fast food joint.
Yes, indeed. Moby Chick there at front right might well linger into 2017.
The fat woman in the chair should have brought winter clothes, she is going to be there till next summer.
the 3 white guys (in the rear) hope to meat some of the children
That woman has never gone hungry. In fact, I’ll bet she’s already eaten a few times since the photo shoot.
There was a chief in Canada, said she was on a hunger strike. Stayed in a TIPI during the day when the media was fawning over her, stayed in a five star each night, which was never reported in the biased media. She gained weight!
God, I hope that was just a typo.
Does it make me a bad person if I hope they starve to death? I’m just hoping they’ll follow this through to the end, that’s all. I’m being encouraging.
Hah, I was going to ask and chickened out. She scares me bro.
Fat chance. lol.
Those “Drinks” are going to be Value meal # 3 in smoothies.
Jeebus, these are the same types that raise money for big ass trophies that they give out to students for breathing each year.
Anybody remember Mitch Snyder? Gained weight every time he went on a hunger strike.
They left when they heard they all received a free pass to Obama’s Library.
Only thing is… it ain’t been built yet.
I hear that if the hunger strike goes much longer, the state’s EBT program might actually end the fiscal year without running a deficit.
