COURAGEOUS WYNDFORD PARENTS DO IT AGAIN!

I have so much respect for these courageous parents, who are standing up for the rights of their children.

The birth rate in Glasgow is rising, so there is no justification for school closures. Why would you close schools just at the point when nursery and school rolls are rising?

Why should children in the most deprived areas have to pay for the recession? Tax the rich and leave these people and their scarce resources alone.

From watching the video, you can feel the people's increased awareness of their own power. That's very healthy and the council should be doing everything they can to encourage these people, not belittling their interests.

PARENTS RE-OCCUPY WYNDFORD PRIMARY IN OPPOSITION TO CLOSURE BY LABOUR COUNCIL

Parents at Wyndford primary school have this afternoon occupied the school in fury at its closure by Glasgow labour council.Glasgow Save Our Schools Campaign organiser, Richie Venton, today said:“Parents sacrificed their Easter holidays, occupying the buildings of schools facing closure. The Labour council ignored this community uprising and the mass opposition across the city to their butchery of primaries and nurseries.“Parents who have re-occupied Wyndford primary as the council slammed the doors shut today are expressing the fury of a community at the damage done to their kids’ education – but also at the Council’s planned demolition of one of the few remaining community facilities in Wyndford.“This school won numerous awards for high achievement, partly based on smaller class sizes. Now kids are being scattered to the four winds by the heartless Labour axe-wielders, who also hope to bulldoze the building. The parents staging the sit-in against Labour’s vandalism deserve massive public support.”
