President Barack Obama is sending Attorney General Eric Holder and Education Secretary Arne Duncan to Chicago next week to discuss the recent beating death of a 16-year-old honors student.
I would like to add that this is larger than Chicago Public Schools and that the day after Derrion Albert was brutally murdered, two cousins - one attending the University of Illinois @ Urbana and the other attending DeVry were murdered in Chicago too.
They were Percy Day, 17 years of age and Tyrone Williams, 19 years of age.
I also would like to recommend to Chicago officials that some energy should go to address the protection of our children and Chicago taxpayers. I understand the hopes, energy and resources being given to inviting international athletes and tourists to this city for the 2016 Olympic Games, but I was taught as a child growing up to clean my house before I invited company.
