Column: Trump’s Chicago visit proves too tantalizing for striking CTU to pass up. School was out anyway, right? – Chicago Tribune

Chicago teachers remained on strike Monday, freezing 300,000 students out of crucial instructional time. Why? The reasons are growing, but they aren’t about pay or working conditions.

The latest reason: President Donald Trump visited Chicago to speak to police chiefs before heading to a ritzy fundraiser hosted by Chicago Cubs co-owner Todd Ricketts. No way could Chicago Teachers Union leaders miss out on the opportunity to protest Trump and a 1-percenter, together, on the same day. That was a double aphrodisiac the socialist-leaning CTU could not deny itself.
