Chicago Public Schools to open Marine-run academy

Someone at CPS has been reading Making the Corps. via the AP from WQAD

The Chicago Public Schools will commission today the nation's first public high school run by the U.S. Marine Corps.

The opening of the Marine Military Academy on the near West Side is seen as another blow to activists who have fought to keep the armed services out of city schools.

Seems like a trend in city schools in recent years to bring in the military and turn these public schools into military academies. I suppose something has to be done even this. People who are against the military doing this are a bit short sighted. I only wish I had this type of option when I was in school.
