Rahm Emanuel learned this trick from Mayor Daley and Meigs Airport - The demolition of the Whittier Elementary School La Casita fieldhouse in Pilsen began under cover of night late Friday so no illegal beaners could protest

Pilsen Illegal Beaner Parents call fieldhouse demolition a ‘betrayal’ — CPS cites safety concerns

The demolition of the Whittier Elementary School fieldhouse in Pilsen began under cover of night late Friday. The mission from Chicago Public Schools brass: Demolish the fieldhouse, aka La Casita, which Whittier parents had fought to save in 2010, staging a 43-day sit-in that resulted in a victory — to date hollow. CPS insisted the crews, which they said arrived at 6 p.m., were just removing asbestos Friday — with demolition to follow.
