"Rest in Power, Rest in Peace, Assata Shakur," the CTU’s post read. "Today we honor the life and legacy of a revolutionary fighter, a fierce writer, a revered elder of Black liberation, and a leader of freedom whose spirit continues to live in our struggle.

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

It’s less than comforting to know that a CTU-affiliated person is now running the City of Chicago (into the ground).
And these are the people teaching your children, poorly one might add. Need anymore proof that they are a subversive, Marxist organization determined to “ re- imagine “ America as promised by Obama?
No tears here. I really and truly believe the DOJ should start looking into the CTU. God knows no one in this state will. They’re whores for their votes
Were I a CTU member I’d be embarrassed and angry about being associated with these people. But I’d likely be bullied and slandered by them for speaking out against them. They quell opposition by intimidation. If after this current term and all the BS of Stacy Davis Gates she is reelected, it’ll speak volumes about the values of the teachers overall.
Good riddens!
“To bad rubbish”
Isn’t it funny that nobody is rising with righteous indignation to defend the CTU this time? No comments about how it’s all Trumpty’s fault? Really odd. The silence is deafening.
In case you missed it, this is just more proof that CTU are neither teachers nor a union. CTU is a terrorist organization and organized crime ring.
I saw her in Havana in 2000, in the cafe of the Havana Libre Hotel. She had a couple of security guys with her, so I decided it was not a good idea to go say hello.
Exactly what “struggle” are CTU members undergoing? This is fake empathy; a common emotion among certain overpaid and over-benefited public union members who have nothing in common with the downtrodden.

Sorry, I will try and not do it again.
Maybe one of our teacher union apologists can explain why this is perfectly normal activity for a teacher union. And if we think this is disgusting and teachers should teach kids to read instead of glorifying murderers, we’re just jealous and hate teachers.
The CTU left out rest in flames with the souls of the damned.
Terrorist and killer Joanne Deborah Byron now gets to face the wrath of God for time eternal.
This is the big mistake all violent leftists make, they do not fear God.
Every facet of leftism mocks Christianity, but God always has the last word.
Eternal damnation awaits.
Not every facet of leftism mocks Christianity. There are plenty of honest practicing Christions on the left
An interesting documentary from the mid 60’s called “ Anarchy USA “ is currently making the rounds on You Tube. It very clearly shows the underhanded tactics and subversion employed by communists worldwide by people loathe to even admit that they are communists. A bit dated, but still very true and powerful.
Can their students find the island of Cuba on a map? Can CTU members find it? CTU is a local cell of the communist party and should face a forensic audit. CPS should close up shop.
Exactly.
I doubt if many CTU members can even spell the name of the island.
Certainly not the ones graduating from 8th grade with a 3rd grade education.
