One cares about their childrens education because it's the right thing to do not because someone is going to give you a gift card. They are going to trial it in 70 schools to start with. This without a doubt a terrible misuse of the taxpayers dollars. In typical liberal fashion Emanuel seems to be proud of the idea.
Maybe they plan on re-cooping the money with this:

"Chicago's Cook County drops bullet tax, but keeps gun levy"

Snip - "Under the plan, the County would impose a $25 tax on the purchase of firearms. The tax is expected to raise $600,000 in revenue in 2013."


Having worked in the public school system the last 7 years it has become painfully obvious that the school day [for some] has become nothing more than government funded daycare...
