300,000 Students Without School as Chicago Teachers Strike Begins
17th October 2019
Chicago teachers are striking for the third time in seven years. The Chicago Teachers Union has rejected what Mayor Lori Lightfoot says is “the most lucrative CTU package in its history.” The union shunned 5-year, 24 percent teacher raises and continues to demand more, including thousands in new hires and additional benefits like affordable housing.

Might be a good time to demand better quality teachers, pro-American/pro-Democracy/pro-Capitalism classes, strict grading scales, and a few dozen other badly needed changes.

We can demand all we want, but it’s still Chicago, home of Democrat machine and union corruption.
