Are you suggesting the guy who runs the Blue School is a liar and an umpire who cries if someone yells at him? Or are you suggesting that some of the Blue School instructors are fabricating their backgrounds and that is part of a larger Chicago tradition of false resumes and since the umpire who cried is from Chicago and the Blue School staff are from Chicago they must both be liars?
