It is not coincidental that Chicago becomes the place where the insufferable communist activist teachers become most visible in their attacks against parents and students. In the method of using the sector of education as a weapon, the Marxists in Chicago are the epicenter of communist ideology.
Chicago is Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, and of course, Barack Obama. The teacher’s union in Chicago is a fully communist education movement, with an entrenched belief that all children belong to the grand communal outlook they represent.
So, it does not come as a surprise to see the Chicago Teachers Union tell the city officials ‘they are in charge‘ and they will dictate COVID policy.
CHICAGO – Classes were canceled Wednesday in Chicago, the country’s third-largest school district, as union leaders and city officials failed to reach an agreement over how to operate schools safely amid the surge in coronavirus cases – an impasse cemented with a late-night vote from Chicago Teachers Union that could lock students out of in-person learning until mid-January.
“Right now, going into school puts us at risk, puts our students and families at risk,” union President Jesse Sharkey said in a press conference Wednesday morning. “That’s the simple truth of the matter. This is a virus that’s raging through the city.”
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot rebuffed the claims by union representatives that the entire district should operate remotely until the rapid spread of the highly transmissible omicron variant subsides or until city officials enforce more stringent safety protocols.
“I cannot stand here in good conscience as the mayor of this city,” she said, “and tell you that it makes sense to shut down an entire system. If I thought it did, if I heard that from our public health experts, then I would be the first one to tell you that’s what we must do.” (read more)
Modern Democrats are communists. Their modern tools for power retention are based on Marxism. Their increased influence and success are the downstream consequence of their use of Barack Obama.
After decades of effort and positioning, using racism as a weapon, Obama became the tool and inflection point to mainstream communism as an acceptable political effort inside U.S. politics. Everything after, including the issues today with Omicron et al, is simply a consequence.
World war 2 wasn’t won, it is still underway. The sinister global forces simply regrouped for a few years.
80+% of Chicago public school students are black or Hispanic… the Chicago teachers and the mayor are racist.
From my daughter’s personal experience at Amazon two years ago in a southern suburb near Chicago:
She was between jobs and took a quasi low levelmanagement position at an Amazon fulfillment center.
Most of the employees were black; some low income and some were ghetto, however, most were very
undereducated. Her job was to train them to be “pickers” (those that picked the items off the shelves
to be shipped). Many of them could not read or write. The ghetto workers wanted to put in some time
and then get fired so they could get unemployment, whatever. I personally don’t know how that scam
works, but I can assure you they do. The others who were not ghetto types, just wanted a job so desperately
and couldn’t do it. They would break down in tears and plead for help. My daughter was so distraught
because this was a daily occurence. The employees come in/out like a revolving door. It is just a cattle
call. She lasted three or four months. She felt so bad for these people but could not help them read or
write. She told me that for some it felt like she was doing their job for them in order to keep them getting a
paycheck.
Chicago teacher union sucks.
I am sure that WW2 was won. There were parades and everything. It was in all the papers. Even movies were made about it.
I’m also sure that the communists continued on their quest to dominate the world.
They made no secret about their plans to conquer us from within.
Since at least post WW I
THEY will never be eliminated, Conmunism, or Tyranism will be with us, always. Each generation will have to battle, to beat it back, for awhile, and TRY to instill in its youth, the foundations for the battle IT will face.
Hence, the Conmunists focus on education and our youth.
We took our eye off the communist/fascist ball and here we are.
Woodrow Wilson was an awful man, a huge racist, but he was a Progressive, and for that all was forgiven.
I recall a scary quote from Wilson, that it was the job of Progressives to make the youth abandon all the beliefs of their elders. It seems to have disappeared.
If somebody has this quote, please reproduce it.
Make those teachers drive to school….
and teach online classes from their empty/safe classrooms.
I like that idea.
That’s what the teachers in my towns district did last year
Teachers should keep in mind that once the Passport is in place, every one of those teachers would instantly end up in passport jail.
If they aren’t fulfilling their contracts, they should receive NO pay or benefits.
Make them get their butts to the classroom if they want to get a paycheck.
And oh by the way – just as PUBLIC law enforcement officers are required to wear body cams, PUBLIC teachers should too.
Just that much more evidence we lost The Cold War.
More likened to a protracted surrender.
What makes you think they will be at ALL successful? People, including average democrat voters, are all waking up.
Remember #2 out of the 45 Communist Goals.
“The US should be willing to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.”
Did we? Is the 30 year “deal” up?
S Lunev did say they won’t attack until they can’t steal from us anymore.
This generation of students are the honored guests of a “Lost Generation.”
Educators, educated (indoctrinated) in a Marxist ideology that will undoubtedly destroy any child’s chance at an exceptional educational experience.
As it’s been said time and again … it’s all by design. It is a feature and not a flaw.
It is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice. For they cannot live in any country where virtue and knowledge prevail. – Samuel Adams
They are practicing for Nov 2022 when they close the schools again to enable mail in ballots. Doing this now inures us to the schools closed / schools open roller coaster.
I’m pretty sure no one was expecting an “exceptional educational experience” in any public school let alone a Chicago public school.
Well, I had an exceptional education after I got back from expulsion.
My only education occurred as a direct consequence OF my expulsion.
C’mon man, they don’t even teach in English very much in Chicagoland.
I pulled my kids out of government school in 1990 for just that reason.
In the 80’s “conservatives” sparked a heated debate, over school vouchers.
We HAD them, on the merits, in part because WE framed the debate, WE established the PREMISE, something they usually manage to do, and which is crucial to winning any policy debate.
WE said “have the $, that (per student) goes to school districts “follow the student”, whether they attend Public, private parochial school.
And, aas far as I recall, the main argument THEY made, is that if vouchers were instituted, most public schools would shut down, due to lack of students.
To which WE repilied, “EXACTLY! Under performing schools SHOULD be shut down!”
I do recall them trying to say, nonsensically, that poor kids wouldn’t benefit, and rich kids would go to private schools, on taxpayers dime.
Which is rediculous, and typical projection and upside down liberal b.s.
The kids and parents in Scottsdale, attending public school may well be very happy with their public schools, its the kids “on the South side” stuck in abysmally underperforming schools, that NEED vouchers.
Point is, WE never the less “lost” the debate, and settled for the compromise of “charter” schools; probably because those supposedly negotiating on our behalf, were actually Rinos on the other side.
WE need to relitigate this debate; the last time, there was SOME “good will” towards Public School teachers Union, and Public School system, which is now largely GONE.
Let us have the debate, win the debate, and decimate the Public indoctrination system!
Looking forward, can the uneducated figure out how to mark a ballot? Especially the uneducated from other countries! Silver lining!
Would anyone expect less from Obama’s home turf.
Chicago is a cess pool.
If you live there, leave as soon as possible.
Throw the town just north of Chicago… Evanston…into the pool. A portion of City taxes are put into a “reparations” account that a “certain” minority class of people will be tapping into.
Yes. I worked in Evanston for years. I’m disgusted by that place.
Scandinavians?
You are killing me…k i l l i n g me!!
My grandkids would call you Captain Obvious lol
We have come a long way since schools taught English using the Bible, Shakespeare and the catechism. 2000 years ago Simeon told Mary her son was a sign (target) that would be spoken against. He is still the target, and that is why there is neither a political or military solution to the present problem.
Teachers spend too much time telling students what to think instead of how to think.
Can’t teach what you don’t know.
Like photo copies from a hazy document, each generation is worse and looks nothing like the original master.
^^^BOOM^^^
Use home schooling, private schools, and online training courses to break these commie teacher unions.
And VOUCHERS. Strip the Public schools of funding, and finance the growth of these alternatives.
And yes, for Home Schoolers, the $ could go into a “Education Savings Acct” modeled after “Health Savings Accts”.
Vouchers may be the panacea bubbling below the surface. Democrats want a huge permanent welfare class. How about paying people to stay home and teach their kids? Once in place, it would be set in stone.
All fascists encouraged their people to have children. And fascism is clearly the belief system surging in America. As Mark Steyn constantly warns, America’s birthrate has fallen below replacement levels. We need children.
The permanent lockdown is their cure for global warming. AOC has said so, or come close. Let a new American paradigm be born, where children are home-schooled for their entire childhood.
The Left, in their eternal confusion, can’t see that a permanent lockdown and the end to the private automobile are leaving homeschooling as the only alternative.
The communist teachers could be re-deployed as inspectors of home schooling. They’d prefer that, anyway.
Any form of dependence on government is a foot in the door for the imposition of vaccine passports/digital ID.
Any governmental payment should be neutralized somehow against strings being attached.
Their union is not unique. Our here, AFT wanted to ban anyone with a religious or medical waiver from teaching or learning in the school–professors and students. A guy from accounting sent out a letter about the first amendment and the right not to vaxx. Professors were all silent.
Sadly, this naked power grab tells me that the teachers do not fear the parents or the government…it will be interesting to see if they are correct in their assessment or if they have finally overplayed their hand? I hope for the latter but fear they are probably correct. Too many parents are over leveraged in their lives and will continue to keep their children enrolled in a clearly hostile public school system rather than pull them out and demand a complete overhaul from top to bottom.
They don’t even learn anything in these GHETTO schools.
Absolutely true. The inner city schools do not have books, gyms do not have balls, and a teacher can hide behind his or her computer monitor and do nothing all day and that is now the accepted norm.
How and why?
They learn CRT and victimhood, with a slice of perversion thrown in by the lgbtfreaks.
They don’t want parents to see what they’re teaching, especially online.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/tennessee-parents-waiver-eavesdropping-online-lessons
They are not intended to learn.
All will be corrected after the revolution.
The Left are monsters. Monsters.
The teacher’s union and their members are the government. They are a government monopoly.
Never going to happen. Well over 90% of parents either ideologically align with public schools, don’t care, or don’t like it but are willing to sacrifice their kids to these cesspools for convenience and money.
Look at what public schools have done in the last 30 years and parents still used them.
Common core
Graduating functional illiterates and innumerates
Birth control handed out in school clinics
Sex Ed that promotes promiscuity, abortion, homosexuality
Teaching 1st graders they can choose their gender
Allowing males in girls locker rooms and bathrooms
Constant criticism and undermining of parents’ values specifically Christianity
Promoting islam
Abusive and/or perverted teachers
Marxist indoctrination
Anti-white biogotry
I am afraid that you are right! I think there are more parents who finally recognize what has been happening but who do not feel they can make a difference so they simply give in and go along…very similar to how so many people handled the never-ending lockdowns, the mask mandates, and now the forced jabs! If 50% of the kids were pulled out of the public school system tomorrow and every parent demanded a refund of their property taxes maybe something would change…but sadly, if the past two years have shown us anything, it is that there are very few people who are willing to push back on almost anything, even when it is their own children that are being irreparably harmed!
Sundance has said how its 20 percent of workers, who do 80 percent of the work.
Perhaps it is 20 percent of Patriots, who will do 80 percent of the work, to engage and win this battle?
All of leftism is based on this premise.
We have an open southern border based on the premise that grunt workers are required for most of the labor.
At the same time leftists assume that robots will be assuming most of the labor duties.
We suffer because leftists are confused about everything. Everything.
And how much of this was a direct result of FEDERAL OVERREACH, in involving itself in regulating and funding Public education?
Granted, not all but MOST.
Public education, like Public Health and Public Safety are inherently STATE and local matters, that the Federal govt. has incrementally encroached on.
Gaining control of the WH, is of limited and easily reversible benefit without wresting control away from those who control Congress, specifically the RINO leadership.
And thats a major battle inflection point we MUST ultimately win, in order to address ALL others.
And, it will take SUSTAINED effort, over many election cycles, to achieve.
However an aggressive assertion of States rights, can begin to reduce the POWER and Authority OF the Federal govt, even as we fight for control of the Federal govt.
@vikingmom brilliant assessment. If we have retirement savings, why not leverage this gift of freedom to serve our communities by offering our time/talent/energy to get into young people’s homes, and share the Scriptures. The effects of leading a parent(s) to repentance, and (their) subsequent receiving of the gift of Holy Spirit, emboldens them to unclamped themselves from “levers”
Their union is not unique. Our here, AFT wanted to ban anyone with a religious or medical waiver from teaching or learning in the school–professors and students. A guy from accounting sent out a letter about the first amendment and the right not to vaxx. Professors were all silent.
This is wonderful. The communists haven’t come to realize that their positions are WILDLY unpopular.
They don’t care if it’s unpopular.
There are REASONS why we are not experiencing what they have in Australia and Europe. They CAN’T. At least not at a national level. I feel bad for those in blue states though… but they are willing participants.
Did you trust the results of the 2020 election? I didn’t. Would you say that all 80 million people who voted for President Trump are “willing participants”?
I wish you had stopped at “I feel bad for those in blue states…” because I live in “blue state” and trust me, there are millions of us here who consistently vote against these crazy ass leftist policies and are NOT at all willing participants. Many of us cannot leave for various reasons (family) and DO what we can to CHANGE policies.
Sorry for the rant – I just really dislike getting throw aside because I’m not living in a majority red state.
Only because they don’t have any use for the incrementalist approach that gradually got them to where they are, and don’t realise that, in their impatience to “close the deal” they are willfully, gleefully throwing away the things which enabled them to get this far.
Incrementalism, combined with STEALTH, and thereby maintaing CREDIBILITY, were key in moving the ball down the field.
They have discarded incrementalism, and stealth without realising that in doing so they are destroying CREDIBILITY, which WAS their most powerful weopon.
When Chronkite said “and thats the way is”, most BELIEVED him.
When Govt officials spoke about the threat of “domino theory” of “fight them over THERE, so we don’t fight them HERE”, most believed.
And so, they continue to emulate Bagdad bob, and can’t grasp or accept that the vast majority simply DO NOT believe them.
Anarchism is a standard belief of the Left now.
It’s why the Democrats support BLM and Antifa. This is their true and basic belief system now.
The world will become a better place after America collapses. We are dealing with an apocalyptic religion. A death cult.
The Canadian TV personality and environmentalist David Suzuki (famous in Canada, and a multi-millionaire) has predicted that the environmentalist movement will begin attacking oil industry facilities (in particular, oil pipelines) in the USA and Canada, in order to fight global warming.
There are thousands of miles of oil pipelines in North America. They cannot possibly be protected. This can only be stopped if environmental radicals are declared terrorists and rounded up. Would Trudeau do this? Would Biden do this?
They would pander.
The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.
If our children are ignorant savages, they do not know what they do not know.
I see passion being substituted for information. How is it in your world?
I would think the commies would want them close so they aren’t outed on virtual learning. I doubt the nationwide uproar at school board meetings would have happened if not for virtual learning and parents having the gall to snoop into what their kids were being taught.
The sad fact is that whether children in Chicago attend school in person or study remotely, NO real learning takes place. The schools are propaganda centers that indoctrinate students into believing that America and its White citizens are evil.
No, see, we’re looking at this wrong.
It’s good to keep the government schools closed.
It’s good to have more parents consider homeschooling.
Agree
There is going to have to be some serious fraud
in order to preserve federal money that is
tied to student attendance,
How many kids, teens, are going to sign in daily
when there is no repercussions.
The union is setting itself up for a big time loss of
federal dollars.
If the commies stay in power there will be no accountability for it.
They will push funding at the federal level under a different name to keep the shenanigans going and offset losses.
Look how most of the legislation they are pushing benefits the most deeply troubled out of control areas, aka Dem run cities and states. Huge nods to the unions and other believers.
Our tax dollars will be the salve they apply.
We are in a boat load of doodoo and they just keep putting more in the boat.
Consider how you are supporting the homeschool movement… it is one small way to work to save the next generation.
Maybe there is a homeschool cooperative near you, where you have a skill to share; or good books or other resources.
Make sure people know about “learning pods”, not just wealthy parents!
Here is one link:

They can’t stop the Omricon, it’s coming for everyone. Any shutdown would be fruitless. I think they are afraid of herd immunity, that will stop the clot shots. However, I hear any prior Covid infection or Covid mRNA shot will not protect us from getting it. Good news is it may only cause an upper respiratory infection, not the dangerous pneumonia. However, they say to treat in case of posts or long Covid. That’s the news from the FLCCC Doctors Marik and Kory.
Three people in my small office are out with the head cold and positive “tests” as of today. If I get a cold, I am not testing, just pound liquids and wash hands and stay away from everyone and keep on working.
And when thousands of parents get tired of the teachers antics,
even in Chicago,
There will be pink slips
2.7 million residents in Chicago.
Gonna take way more than a few thousand.
I used to live in Chicago and I felt as if they the teachers were striking every other year. I have no pity on them or the mayor.
Born and raised there along with 5 siblings. I had some really good teachers in the public school I graduated from and was fairly well educated. (I’m here, aren’t I?)
However by the time I got married I could see the changes coming and moved to a suburb with a better educational opportunity for my family.
The leftist migration has reached where I’m at and no doubt a move is in my future. Fortunately my kids are all married and have families of their own. Two of the three are solid conservatives and the other is on the fence because she’s inundated with liberal lunacy from her husband’s well educated family. Her husband graduated 1st in his class (my daughter was 2nd). He was raised on NPR my daughter on Rush Limbaugh.
The only reason I’m still here is the influence I still have on my 5 grandchildren, aged 12 down to 6 months. My wife and I had the pleasure and privilege of babysitting all of them until they reached school age so my kids and spouses could work.
Without a doubt I am by far their favorite. Amazing the influence that an irreverent, never gonna grow up attitude and full of fun old guy like me could have on kids.
Kudos to my wife who understood that not taking anything too serious would lead to an open mindedness in the grandkids. Even the one’s stuck with the liberal half of the family can see the idiocy of constant mask wearing and are openly wondering why, even though they’re only 5 and 7.
Do you recall that every year they would say, “Its for the children!”
“The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.”
Adolf Hitler
Don’t know anything about Chicago but had friends flee Huntley, Illinois this past weekend. LITERALLY! They are now in Idaho and feel they are going to recover nicely, eventually. They describe a total catastrophe of government and people. Incredibly stupid, uncaring, incompetent, and sleep walking population.
May your friends thrive Petzmom.
After WWII, massive populations in former Germany, Poland, eastern Europe in general fled westward to escape the clutches of the communists. (Somehow I suspect Melania Trump knows stories that would appall us). Stalin’s minions raped, tortured, murdered and stole from the hapless people who could not get away from them.
And American children were not taught this history because no one wanted to believe we had allied with Stalin, mass murderer of Katyn Forest in Poland
Chicago only cares about criminals. That’s it.
Chicago always a disaster. On the brighter side, Ted Cruz ended his presidential aspirations (by saying J6 was a violent terrorist attack).
Well, his aspirations were only in his head anyways…
His head was always up his as-perations.
Once we establish that it was a terrorist attack by government funded agitators, he’ll spin it that way.
Teachers unions have become dictatorial, demanding and absolutely useless. They exist for one reason only to demand more funding, for very little work. Teachers unions cannot justify their existence anymore and should be abolished.
Massa Jimmy gave us the DOE.
I was a naive 18 year old when I cast my very first vote for President. I’ll hang my head in perpetual shame for admitting I voted for this shmuck. Just goes to show you – those who want to allow (even younger) 16 year olds to vote know that they are naive, don’t pay taxes, and are very easily influenced.
He got that black eye last year.
Sad. Very sad
A couple years ago, did a large security consult for a medium sized school district. While the area of the district was largely conservative, the teacher’s union was as far left as could be. Met with a select group twice monthly for about 6 months. That group included board members, PTA elected parent representatives, administrators, and elected teacher’s union leaders. It got to the point that these 2 hour meetings lasted 3 or 4 hours due to the militaristic mindset of the teachers union. It became a game of getting the union reps becoming vocal on a subject then making them look ridiculous using their own ideas against them. I discovered the leaders of this teacher’s union were DUMB and actually had a lot of fun making them look every bit as ignorant as they were.
“While schools will be open to receive students and provide meals and health care on Wednesday, classes are canceled. Moving forward, it’s still unclear whether the district will allow remote learning to occur – a move that requires special approval from the state – or whether a full-on work stoppage will occur while negotiations will continue.”
How come it’s evidently safe enough for school employees to be inside the schools to provide meals and health care to the students but not for the teachers in the classrooms? Things that make you go hmmmmm.
Omicron is so sneaky it only affects members of the Chicago Teacher’s Union.
Those running schools believe they exist to redistribute wealth through welfare programs rather than to educate.
I can’t recall what the number is now, but last year I remember reading that some 40% of children in certain areas get all three meals a day through the public schools. I imagine the “healthcare” numbers are similar if not higher.
Education can be sacrificed when it comes to these internecine struggles between the People’s Power and Power to the People factions of the Boss Marx Ring running American cities… because it is not important.
Education is not the purpose of the modern education system.
My then 15 year old granddaughter goes to a Plainfield, Illinois high school. Last year during Covid and the lockdown they put money on an EBT card monthly to make up for the school not providing lunch. We were
on vacation purchasing groceries and she said, “Let me pay for this; I have over $900 on this card”.
I was floored. I guess they dont want people screaming for money back on their taxes that pay for
education if they are not serving lunch. It was funny. I think she has one this year because they still
aren’t serving food because of Covid even though they are in school.
That makes me physically sick. Seriously.
I’m thinking how I can store away cans of beans because of inflation, and they’re giving EBT cards away with NINE HUNDRED BUCKS on them? Whisky Tango Foxtrot. FUBAR. Whatever you want to call it – that’s royally messed up!
Lunch ladies are not members of the teachers’ union. Neither are school nurses.
Precisely my point. It’s not about safety – it’s politics.
Simple just stop paying them
Everyone should get a chance to hear the sounds going on in the kids computer room when teachers are trying to do online stuff. Don’t ask how I know. The teacher is constantly muting the disruptive kids bouncing off the wall with their brothers and sisters in the house, and it is very difficult for teachers to make audible contact with the actual kids responding to Q & A. It’s absolute pandemonium. That, and the fact that a large proportion of the kids (and their whole family) have a constellation of behavioral and attentional problems now (read: medicated), makes online classes for the early grades useless. Absolutely 100% useless.
Moreover, the empirical fact is that the reading and math scores of the early grades are now at least 1 year (repeat: AT LEAST) behind normal progression in FL because of the online class hoax.
These union people know damn well that online teaching doesn’t work for the early grades where the 3Rs need to be acquired fairly rapidly with intense one-on-one teacher effort. That “effort” part is the major problem because the young teachers are overly lazy and merely working for a paycheck and state/county benefits. Drive by your schools parking lot and see how many cars are in the lot 15 minutes after the last bell rings. Teacher unions are merely money laundering communist organizations now.
If you have children, get them out of public schools.
The teachers think they belong to the “elite” and believe they should just sit home and collect rents.(Of course not all)
None of this is about health or safety. The FauCHI-19 virus is not that dangerous. This is just the use of political power.
Parents need to show they are in power. Why pay property taxes or have public schools if teachers refuse to do anything?
Trying to teach virtually to kids is real stupid, but looking at our education system are the teachers teaching?
These idiot teachers don’t realize that they are opening up an opportunity for parents and concerned adults to actually change the school system and cut them out. Just need some smart and righteous parents to seize it…

75% at a minimum; but oh those days and summers off are great along with those pensions.
Anyone still believe McCarthy was wrong?
Take all teachers pay and claw it back and stop all of their benefits and see how much longer they refuse.
Red for Ed or better dead then Red
I see the Chicago teachers locking themselves and students out as an advantage. The children do not have to go through the Communist/Fascist/Totalitarian indoctrination/propaganda spewed by these despicable so called “teachers”.
Reading/writing/ arithmetic is all which is necessary with todays access to anything worth learning and knowing. It is a blessing in disguise the teachers lock themselves out. I would rather pay them to stay-out than pay them to propagandize and indoctrinate.
The only lessons worth learning anymore are the lessons of “hard knocks”. Colleges and Universities are nothing but a scam anymore. There is very little decency with too many so called “Professors”.
Just like our politicans; perhaps we could pay them to stay away too.
Schools are the one government entity where we can fight back via “defunding” and not be thrown in jail for failing to “donate” your earnings.
Yeah, they can just lien on your house.
A peaceful split of the country along the lines of red state/blue state will never happen. They want it all. We’ll have to fight.
Fine, how much will my property tax be lowered?
Two things:
The kids are probably better off as Chicago schools are notoriously bad.
Teachers so desperately want to be like all those white collar ‘knowledge’ workers that get to work from wherever they want that I would not be surprised if some school districts start offering teachers the option to “teach” from home at least part of the week going forward.
We taxpayers will have to pay for someone to be in the classrooms for safety and insurance at the schools. Fairfax County, VA did that last year when they finally started to reopen schools. They let the teachers stay home and paid someone else just to sit in the classroom.
Lazy, entitled, lazy, ignorant, lazy, brainwashed, lazy…
…did I mention lazy?
(1) Put the union on notice… fine them $50M for every day they boycott the physical schools.
(2) Put the teachers on notice.. either show up next Monday or you’re fired
(3) Put the union on notice… either stop the charade or be decertified next Tuesday.
But Bill Ayers&Co. are the subversives directing this mess
Good directives…however then the teachers union won’t kickback money to the Dems….so that’s the problem in Dem Chicago….and other blue cities 😑
B Hussein O is the WORST PRESIDENT in USA history-bar none!!

Chicago unions feed the bad stereotypes of unions and infect every aspect of Chicago.

Che Was a Racist, Homophobe and Mass Murderer
https://www.humanprogress.org/the-truth-about-che-guevara-racist-homophobe-and-mass-murderer/
Today, 50 years after his death, many people still remember Ernesto “Che” Guevara as a warrior for social justice. For so many celebrities, politicians, and activists, Che Guevara is a kind of Good Samaritan who fought against oppression and tyranny. It is unfortunate, though, that these people ignore some of their idol’s defining character traits.
Che Guevara was in fact an intolerant and despicable man.
There are so many good educational website resources. Traditional schools have become an anachronism.
Another breeding ground for Mass Formation Psychosis, they are in every state! They must be destroyed!
What are the chances Chicago (taxpayers) will stop paying the teachers? /s
As has been said many times and many ways, “It’s easy to fall into socialism/totalitarianism, but you have to shoot your way out.” In Chicago they’re doing lots of shooting but…
Well…., (ahem) , perhaps the ‘no vax no eat out’ should be based on science, ms lori.
In my humble opinion I would change the school system where the kids can go to any school that their parents wish them to go and the state would pay for it. Kids going to private school would get a better education and they would starve the public school system of money.
That way you can fire all the public school teachers that aren’t worth a damn and the kids would get a better education. Could you imagine those little communist school teachers would actually have to work for a living or starve. Better yet they can move to North Vietnam or Cuba I hear Cuba have a great medical insurance over there, or maybe they can move to China with their great leader Xi.
The state pays for nothing; we taxpayers do.
Give an inch and they take a mile…

My daughter’s a Teacher Philly school special ED, they been testing weekly all waxcanated, I told her to play the game positive test paid time off no sickness is the game being played now. Today the test was changed everyone was negative, she told me I would like to hear that. Long ago I told her the way it will go away is when tests change it’s just all political we are not germ fighters.-
Keep the schools closed and fire all the teachers.
Then start over on parental choice centered education reform.
