Chicago Mayor Daley Admires China's Schools

WorldNetDaily reported today that Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley has called for Chicago's school system to become more like China's schools.

Mayor Richard Daley says he wants the city's public schools to move to a six-day school week.

Children, he says, need more time in the classroom, a longer school year and earlier exposure to foreign languages to compete in the global market.


Daley said when he visited China, he found that children there learn English before they reach the equivalent of 8th grade, spend more days in school each week and don't have a summer break.

Eighth grade! My kids learned English before they even started school.

Mayor Daley has a few screws loose. I find it hard to believe that he doesn't understand that this is China. They're COMMUNISTS! They "compete in the global market" by using child labor, prisoner labor, and other types of forced labor at rock-bottom pay rates.

Is this the kind of future that Daley aspires to for his children and grandchildren?

When leaders within the Democrat party start pushing communist practices as the ideal, it makes Michelle Malkin's latest book title, Unhinged, seem like an understatement.
