Minneapolis Councilman whose wife works for BAEO calls for public High School to be burned down

So, North High has troubles? Let's torch it

Burn it.

That's City Councilman Don Samuels' suggestion for Minneapolis North High School: Burn it down...

"My children will not darken the door of a Minneapolis public school," Samuels was quoted as saying...

Samuels' attack seems linked to his advocacy of school vouchers...Samuels sends his children to Ascension Catholic School. His wife, Sondra, works as a local organizer for the Black Alliance for Educational Options a Milwaukee-based group that is pushing for school vouchers.

That group is largely funded with grants from right-wing foundations -- including the Bradley Foundation and the Walton Family Foundation -- considered by some to be hostile to all public education.
