School activists Cassie Creswell & Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth tell the only-in-Chicago story of Jones High School, located in the south Loop, who has a principal who allegedly lives in Missouri. What, CPS, you couldn't find someone closer to home? They also consider the age-old questions: Why do the leaders of Chicago public schools dislike parent, hate democracy, and adore powerful mayors. Also, a word or two or three about efforts in Mississippi to fire a teacher for introducing his students to the classic book, I Need A New Butt.
