- The Rev. James Meeks, who is also a state senator, wants his congregants and people from other churches to keep their children home from school this fall, until Chicago inner-city schools get more funding from Springfield.
Sunday sermons were used to gather support for the idea of boycotting Chicago Public Schools. Rev. James Meeks announced his idea last week.
Equal funding for education is something Meeks has been fighting for in Springfield since he was elected state senator six years ago, but he and other pastors believe a boycott is the only way to get attention.
