The truth is out: Chicago’s teachers’ union isn’t about education anymore—it’s about radical activism. Parents entrust educators to teach their kids how to read, write, and do math. Instead, the Chicago Teachers’ Union spends its time marching alongside Marxists and Antifa, skipping work for political protests, and pushing left-wing agendas that have nothing to do with real learning.
This May 1st, the union’s leadership didn’t urge teachers to focus on their students. No, they stood up and told their members to ditch school so they could join national boycotts and demonstrations against companies like Target. Why? Because these businesses won’t bend to woke demands or help illegal immigrants break American law. While teachers are off rallying and waving signs, what happens to the kids stuck in failing classrooms?
Anyone think this is helping Chicago’s children? At over fifty public schools, not a single student is proficient in math. You read that right: zero. In the district’s emptiest schools, teachers outnumber students three to one, a fortune is spent per kid, and still just a tiny handful can read at grade level. The union’s answer? Blame billionaires, shout about so-called “authoritarian” presidents, and demand even more money—never mind that their track record is a disaster.
Forget improving education or working for taxpayers. The union is laser-focused on scoring political points and playing resistance hero. They even had the nerve to say returning to classrooms was “racist and sexist.” Meanwhile, they turn schools into training grounds for protest, not places that build a future. This isn’t just incompetence—it’s sabotage.
The radical left shows its cards in Chicago. It’s always about power, never about children. Unions like this one have abandoned their true mission. It’s time to abolish public teachers’ unions that put activism before education. Whose side are they on—Chicago families, or the latest woke cause? Because it sure isn’t the kids.
