What would you say is the root cause of this? I just talked to a man who moved to Waukegan 3 years ago and recently removed his child from the High School because all of this was, in his words, "distracting" from his childs education.
Gang influences, Dan. This is a major cause of what is wrecking Waukegan Schools today. Our schools have mostly been taken over by gangs and the
school officials are mostly looking the other way as does much of this city, wanting to deny it is a really big problem.
These YouTube vids are not made up, they are bolstered by what I hear from decent parents with decent youth in our school system of all backgrounds here. Waukegan Schools have been dominated by street gangs and the culture all of that brings, and next will be our neighborhoods which is happening right now..what is all that gang graffiti you posted pics on here about if not gang culture dominance ?
City officials and police officials live in a dream world, too. The phony PR vids our high paid city officials have produced <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.elocallink.tv/clients3/il/waukegan2009/tourplay.php?movie=waukil10wel_rev2_iwd&spon=welcome">http://www.elocallink.tv/clients3/il/wa ... on=welcome</a><!-- m --> no one believes, a total joke. No one in Lake County or anywhere on the North Shore believe any of these vids, only serve to puff up those in City Hall and at the School Board to give them an illusion that all is well here when it is not at all.
Just think about it. City Officials talk about creating vegetable gardens rather than in dealing with gangs. Gardens are great, but already most decent
Waukegan people don't want to even go into existing parks let alone start wandering thru tall isolated vegetable gardens.
