    I've never heard of her, but she must be in the spotlight quite a bit in Illinois due to the Blagojevich scandal (and running for Senate). Nice work!

    Ms. Jackson,
    The way to solve underperforming schools in Chicago and IL is not through a lawsuit regarding the funding mechanism for schools. This is ridiculous and ignores the primary problems that exist and in fact focuses on the problem being based on funding. Nonsense. Public schools are govt. run schools. You first have to admit that despite substantially increased funding for public schools in IL to the point where we spend over $11,000 per student, this massive increase in spending has not improved academic results at all and nearly 50% of Chicago public school students drop out. This lawsuit is disingenuous and shows you don't understand the root causes of what ails our school systems. Hint: start with govt. run, unions who care more about dollars for non-classroom administrative functions and low standards for those who actually teach. Once you demonstrate you actually can understand the difference between cause and effect in educational performance, then you'll be ready to maybe consider yourself qualified as a Senatorial candidate. Pretending a lawsuit is the answer to the deficincies of our schools is proposterous and insulting. Give it a rest
