Slideshow: Anger surges during rally at School District headquarters

Rally-goers gathered outside the School District of Philadelphia headquarters at 440 N. Broad St. yesterday as the announcement was made that dozens of schools were recommended for closure or relocation. If the plan is approved, about 17,000 students might be moving to new schools. The rally was organized by the Philadelphia Coalition Advocating for Public Schools.

The Big Lie--that this is about saving money while helping kids is the biggest farce of all. They will repair those buildings and give them to charters, another wart on the ass of life.

you obviously do not read papers, watch TV or were at the rally yesterday, or you would know what Jerry has said and continues to say

If you believe Jerry is on our side, you deserve him. At best, he's an empty suit and at worst, a double dealer.
