A startling number of children are falling through the cracks at one Chicago Public School. More than half of the kids didn't even pass the eighth grade. As CBS 2's Jim Williams reports there is fierce debate about who's to blame.

Part of the problem is that they used to teach reading, writing and arithmentic, bada bing!! End of story. That's what's needed to go far in life.
Now they don't teach that. Instead they teach why it's not being taught, and they teach why an inner city kid, with his inner city challenges, can't learn, why it's the fault of non-liberals, and that he should be bitter about what kind of miserable life he has to lead because of it.
Oh, and condoms. Lots of condoms.
