Police Block Whittier Parent Committe March
Chicago police have set up yellow tape lines and are blocking a planned march by supporters of the Whittier Parent Committee this morning. Parents and advocates were set to picket in front of Whittier Elementary School in protest of Chicago Public School's decision to move forward on construction of a library inside the school, rather than in the fieldhouse known as "La Casita" that the parents fought to save from demolition last fall.

UPDATE: The police tape came down at around 9:45am, but police are still at the scene.
