Chicago Public Schools dedicated its 19th annual “Teachers for Social Justice” curriculum fair to encouraging teachers to use their positions to promote radical left-wing concepts around race, gender, and international relations.

Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
What good does it do for teachers to teach this stuff when their students are basically illiterate and uneducated? These students won’t have the skills to do much other protest and walkout.
I’m sure everyone who attends will get an A.
Could the CTU just concentrate on math, reading, science, discipline and responsibility? The CTU’s job is to prepare children for adulthood. CTU do your job!
You are drastically misinformed. The CTU’s job is to represent its members. Teachers are responsible for teaching and the union is responsible for representing teachers. They do that through collective bargaining as well as political campaigns to help get like minded people elected to our government.
Who is the CTU bargaining against?
I guess the union members who named their program Teachers For Social Justice don’t understand the distinction you are making.
Enrollment in CPS is plummeting. Any mildly concerned parent has removed (their/there/they’re) child from the system! The teachers are far (to/too/two) radicalized and ignore the curriculum.
If you still have a child in this system, (I,eye,aye) urge you to print this multiple choice test. Present it (to/too/two) (their/there/they’re) teacher and (C/sea/see) if they can pass it!
Its time for a voucher system. Lets see what schools are still standing and what teachers should be dog walkers
Just curious, do they ever host a fair on how to teach ?
Nope. Their only focus is to indoctrinate and steal from the taxpayers.
They spend lavshly to attend Kumbaya seminars at ‘touristy’ destinations. Does that count?
And yet the CTU does promote genocide by pushing the narrative that those of means should be scourged, whitey is evil and needs to pay for past crimes and a chaotic, dystopian society is the best option in the future. Going to go out on a limb here and say whites/ Asians are under attack in disproportionate numbers and not by each other.
19th annual?! WTF? This activity is 24/7/365. They call for this crap all the time. American society, values and culture is being pushed aside by teachers unions and Public Schools. Looking at the picture on the article…if you were wondering – These are grifters…
