Update: Moratorium on Senn Naval Academy

There was another meeting of the Senn Tomorrow Task Force this past Monday. I had written previously about how the committee had voted 14-2 to recommend a moratorium on the naval academy at its February 28 meeting. For those of us who oppose the naval academy, this vote was a welcome victory. Perhaps the tide was turning! Perhaps.

At Monday's meeting, the chairman of the task force presented a draft of the letter, which was generally well received. It will be sent to Chicago Public Schools CEO Arne Duncan, and in the words of the chairman: "We've done what we said we were going to do." In other words, the moratorium is off the table. At least until Mr. Duncan chooses to respond.

As one of the "uninvited attendees" (as the non-voting attendees are called) quipped: "If a letter falls in Arne Duncan's letter tray, does it make a sound?"
