High School Pass-Along":
Wednesday High School Pass-Along...
=====================================
20 empty desks in Chicago...
CHICAGO -- Chavez Clarke, 18, had spent this past Saturday taking
catch-up classes so he could graduate on time. As he left a South Side
high school that afternoon, he was fatally shot, in broad daylight and
in plain view of other students. His death marked a grim end to a
week when police and school officials had stepped up their efforts to
combat a spike in killings of public school students.
The day before, an eighth-grader at a North Side school was shot
and killed.
In all, 20 Chicago public school students have been fatally shot so
far this school year--seven in March alone--compared with 24
the year before, said spokesman Mike Vaughn. Including those
who died in non-gun violence, 22 students have been killed this
year, and 30 last school year. School officials could not provide
precise figures, but said that killings had increased markedly over
past years.
On Tuesday, hundreds of Chicago public school students from
four high schools gathered downtown to protest the violence and
to call for more gun-control measures, with the school district
sanctioning their absences and supplying buses, the Associated Press
reported. Twenty empty school desks, each representing a fallen
student, were set up in front of the James R. Thompson Center,
which houses state offices. Here's the report from the Washington Post!
"What am I supposed to do with this?" grumbled a teen motorist
as the policeman handed him a speeding ticket.
"Keep it in a safe place," the cop said. "When you collect four of them,
you get a bicycle."
