Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel Won’t Let Kids Graduate Unless They Tell The Government What They Plan To Do Next

Aaron Bandler

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has proposed a new policy that won’t allow students to graduate from high school unless they present a plan to the government on what their post-graduation plans are.

The proposal would require students to prove that they’re entering some sort of educational or vocational program after graduation; a job offer or entering the military would also suffice. Exceptions are available in certain cases, such as in the case of illegal immigrant student or those who are in jail.
