Cps Won T Say Why It Suspended Activist Teacher Sarah Chambers

      As former Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett stood before a     federal judge on the day of her sentencing last week, a grammar school     special education teacher named Sarah Chambers began the third week of her     school board-imposed suspension.



      Then, in 2013, Mayor Rahm’s school board appointees unanimously approved a     $20 million consulting contract to a couple of scam artists who were     kicking back some of the money to B-3, as the mayor so affectionately     nicknamed her.



      They still haven’t explained why they suspended her. But in doing so, they     effectively sent a “You’d better think twice” message to other teachers who     might be considering resisting the mayor’s cuts and policies.



      Chambers contends that CPS is making it difficult for children to get into     special education because the district wants to spend special ed money on     other things.





      And nobody wants that—except maybe the bankers.
