A North Side high school has been evacuated as a precaution after a chemical was found in the school Monday morning.
A Level 1 HazMat situation was called about 10:45 a.m. at Senn High School at 5900 N. Glenwood Ave., according to Fire Media Affairs spokesman Quention Curtis.
The school was evacuated as a precaution after a chemical believed to be chlorine was found near the pool, Curtis said.
Chicago, you damn betcha. The same city of unicorn farts and extra special hopeychange that gave us our current International Embarrassment, now gives us a school that’s panicked by the presence of CHLORINE near a fucking POOL.
Weep for the fucking future, people.
Wait. I’m sorry. For a second I thought this was a story in which a HazMat team was called because someone thought they found chlorine near a pool, but I realized that couldn’t possibly be the case because anyone that mind-numbingly stupid would have hung themselves during a freak shoe tying accident in preschool.

The best we can hope for is that the lack of common sense on a systemic level will fail to keep people this stupid from killing themselves.

Chlorine near a pool! Well if that ain’t evidence of terrorists, I sure don’t know what. After all, chlorine was used as a war gas back in WW I.

Believe it or not, I used to live at 6459 N. Glenwood, and would have had to go to Senn if my mother hadn’t moved out of the city. She taught in Chicago, and knew better than to send us to a public school. (Most of the teachers sent their kids to private schools, as I recall…)
