“A” Is for Agitation: Radical Chicago Teachers on Parade

Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis walks, talks and barks like a rootsy Occupy Wall Street activist. But this Big Labor loudmouth who’s leading the abandonment of nearly 400,000 schoolchildren in the Windy City is just another power-grabbing union fat cat.

Instead of academic excellence, she rails about “social justice.” Instead of accountability, she fumes about “profits” and curses merit pay. Lewis has marched with the Occu-clowns denouncing capitalism and promoting “socialism (as) the alternative.” She raves: “Occupy Wall Street and the whole concept of the 99 percent is an extraordinarily important movement.”

The Chicago Teachers Union rakes in nearly $30 million in forced dues from rank-and-file teachers every year. CTU is an affiliate of the behemoth AFL-CIO, which dropped an estimated $100 million in forced dues to support Democratic candidates and causes during the 2008 and 2010 election cycles.

You can read the rest, but you can probably just read between the lines and figure out the rest on your own.

And yet there are still those who claim there is no leftist bent in our schools.

Well, it's easy enough to understand:  the leftist bent bends back on itself so severely, that kids come out of the screw-ll system looking like this, these days...

Tripod?  Really? :lmao:

Oh hay, look at this.

Union head: Teachers ‘tired of billionaires telling us what ... to do’

I gaurantee you the head of the Chicago Teachers Union will be a millionaire long before I will with the salary and benefits she pulls down for doing whatever it is she does.

And the disgusting, repulsive Karen Lewis says the strike is not about her.
