Cost? “Stop Asking That Question”, Says Chicago Teachers Union President In Strident Speech About Contract Demands
6th March 2024
“It’s gonna get a little hot in this city in the next few months” over contract negotiations with teachers. That’s from Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates’ address to the City Club of Chicago yesterday.
That sure sounds right based on the rest of her speech. Gates told us what the CTU is. “We are a whole bunch of people who have been told no. Don’t, Forget about it. Don’t even think about it. No. Poo.” And this time, they won’t accept those answers, which was the primary point of the speech. It’s all part of the CTU’s broader “movement,” a term she used throughout the speech.
Teaching has gone from a socially useful profession to being a jobs program for the fashionable victim categories.
