IN HONOR OF SLAIN STUDENTS

Deadly Lessons

One week ago a local television station CLTV presented the second installment of an award winning documentary Deadly Lessons, exploring the problem of school violence. Over 24 CPS students have been lost due to violence in the current school year. Host Gaynor Hall did a weeklong series of interviews of Chicago youths, parents of slain CPS students, Chicago Public Schools CEO Arne Duncan, community activists and public officials that were both riveting and informative. This series is a must see as we delve into this devastating crisis within our community.
