Mike and Fred Klonsky planned to have our good friend Prexy Nesbitt on this weeks show. But weather in New York and at La Guardia had a different plan. We did have a call-in from 45th Ward Chicago Alderman John Arena who has been waging a good fight to build affordable housing in a neighborhood on Chicago's north west side that desperately needs it. Chicago's long ugly history of segregated housing was re-ignited. We get into it, joined by our producer Jamie Trecker on what's behind it all. After the break we get into it about our fave topic: schools, choice, vouchers, funding and Betsy De Vos.

This episode Mike and Fred Klonsky are joined by our guest Jerry Harris, national secretary of the Global Studies Association.
