Chicago Teachers Union Group’s Trip to Venezuela, Praise of Socialist Leader Slammed as ‘Propaganda Tour’
20th August 2019
The recent trip to Venezuela by a group calling itself a Chicago Teachers Union delegation has upset some union members and expats who question the point of the tour and take issue with the group’s praise of the country’s disputed government.
The four travelers, who crowdfunded the July trip under the banner of the CTU, met with Venezuelan government officials and educators, visited a commune and were featured in local media.
