Chicago Teachers Union vice president Stacy Davis-Gates admitted that \u201cthere\u2019s nothing we\u2019ll be able to say to any student athlete\u201d to make it better. \u201cIt sucks,\u201d she said.<\/p>\nRUSH: For almost two weeks, a teachers\u2019 strike has crippled the schools in Chicago. The Chicago Tribune editorial board complains that over 300,000 children have been locked out of classrooms because the union wants to show their new progressive mayor, Lori “Lightweight,” who\u2019s the boss.<\/p>\n
The teachers\u2019 union is demanding billions in spending, on top of the $8 billion-dollar education budget. Mayor Lightweight says the city just doesn\u2019t have the money.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the children are suffering. Aside from missing weeks of class and liberal indoctrination, student athletes have been hit pretty hard. Rules say that they cannot compete if school is not in session. Many of them have already missed important competitions that could have led to scholarships. Now those opportunities are not going to come back. So for a bunch of low-income Chicago students, their college dreams may be over.<\/p>\n

The Chicago Tribune editorial board was really furious. They slammed the union for taking an unreasonable position in the strike, and for such a lame apology to the affected kids.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s really unusual for the media to attack unions, folks, but this time the teachers crossed the line. It\u2019s so obvious they\u2019re all about themselves, and not \u201cfor the children\u201d \u2013 that even fellow liberals can\u2019t defend them. Never thought I\u2019d see this day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
