Chicago Schools Fold To Unions, Cancel In-Person Classes Due To COVID In Move That Has Even Lightfoot Furious – National File

The power of this corrupt teacher’s union must be broken by a two-pronged approach. Homeschooling for those who can and school vouchers for the rest. Where and how our children are educated should be a choice offered to everyone and not just an elite, wealthy, mostly white few.

On Tuesday, the Chicago Teachers’ Union voted to immediately switch to remote learning, citing COVID-19 concerns. Classes were then cancelled across the district, which is the nation’s third largest. Chicago Public Schools (CPS) announced the closure following the union action that called for virtual instruction until union leaders approve an agreement with the district over pandemic safety protocols or until coronavirus “cases substantially subside.” Carolina Barrera Tobón, a parent of two children in the first and third grades, accused the teachers union of “fearmongering” in a statement to CNN.
