Defund CTU
I want my taxes back if the schools remain closed. Then bring back President Reagan to fire all the teachers, like he did the air traffic controllers in 1981.
The schools can open providing precautions are made, just like other businesses and companies are doing.
November 4th this all goes away. I wonder why.
God Bless America.
The teachers and their union should not be able to have food or necessities available to them. They are not letting children have learning made available.
What would happen if Chicago parents had janitors open schools, hire or have volunteers teach subjects? Would CPD arrest them?
Look it is simple rearrange the classroom to accommodate a set number of in class students and then provide online teaching at the same time. The Army was doing this type of teaching 20 years ago. But then again we are talking about CPS with subpar teachers!
Fire everyone of them if they go on strike, enough of this ctu crap, home school private schools now. Abolish the public school system
Fire every one of them if they strike, or if they don’t strike
The domestic terrorist CTU has taken children hostage. They just held a rally to announce they’re going to start executing their hostages
