Chicago Teachers Union Leader Demands Schools Stay Shut, While Vacationing in Caribbean

I’ve followed the insanity from the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU). I’ve said it has nothing to do with safety and they do not give a damn about students. It’s all about power, virtue signaling, and making a fuss about something to strike and cause headaches.

CTU member Sarah Chambers provided more proof.

Chambers sits on the CTU’s executive board. She serves as an area vice president.

Chambers is also one of the most vocal against in-person learning. She even “tweeted to rally special education teachers not to return to work Monday because it’s unsafe.” You know, despite the fact that special needs children need in-person learning more than anyone. But that does not matter.

You’d think Chambers is one person who takes lockdowns seriously, stayed home for Christmas and New Years’.

NOPE.

WGN reported that Chambers posted a picture of herself on Instagram in Puerto Rico a few hours before her Thursday tweet to special education teachers.

A Chicago Teachers Union leader is facing criticism for vacationing in the Caribbean while at the same time claiming it’s unsafe for teachers to return to the classroom.Sarah Chambers is on the union’s executive board and is an area vice president.As recently as Thursday, she tweeted to rally special education teachers not to return to work Monday because it’s unsafe.Just a few hours earlier, Chambers posted a picture on Instagram that appears to show her pool side in Puerto Rico and talking about going to Old San Juan for seafood.The post also mentions she previously had COVID, got a negative test result and consulted her doctor before traveling.Both Chambers and the Chicago Teachers Union have not responded to WGN’s request for comment. Since we have reached out, Chambers has deleted her Instagram account.The CTU is threatening the possibility of a strike if the district pushes ahead with plans to reopen school buildings.

I cannot with these disgusting and selfish jerks. But apparently, she is not one of those jerks because she had a negative COVID-19 test and consulted her doctor before she traveled.

Yeah, no.

Lady, the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) have met the CTU demands. Schools all over the country have returned to in-person school.

I’m not saying all of them are lazy and selfish. I wish teachers would speak out because I doubt the majority of them approve of this crap and want to get back to work at the schools.

But Chambers’ picture strengthens the argument that those in charge at the CTU do not care about anything but causing trouble and problems. They do not care about the kids or even the teachers.

The CTU has threatened to strike even though CPS promised health screenings, mandatory face masks, putting distance between desks, and new HEPA air purifiers in classrooms. Schools would also have access to COVID-19 tests.

Study after study has shown that transmission does not spread like wildfire in elementary schools. Study after study has shown that kids are losing a year of education, which will impact them after high school.
