Chicago Teachers Union Forced to Delete Tweet With Embarrassing Typo
“represents teachers in the public school system of the third-largest city in the United States”
Is there any wonder why the children of Chicago have such terrible reading scores?

‘Beyond Parody’: Teacher’s Union Overseeing Failing Schools Sends Out Flyer With Glaring Typo
The Chicago Teachers Union’s (CTU) social media accounts disseminated a flyer across multiple platforms that misspelled the word “governor.”
CTU’s official accounts on X, Facebook and TikTok posted the flyer, which began with the line “TELL GOVERNER [sic] PRITZKER.” After school choice advocate Corey DeAngelis posted the misspelled flyer to X, the CTU deleted its posts featuring the spelling error on all three of the platforms.
The CTU, which represents teachers in the public school system of the third-largest city in the United States, did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
“The Chicago Teachers Union doesn’t know how to spell ‘Governor,’” DeAngelis, the executive director of the Educational Freedom Institute, wrote in his X post, enclosing an image of the flyer, branded with the CTU logo.

“Their fair share is whatever i say it is!”
I’m surprised they didn’t call him the Guberator, due to his election being of the gubernatorial kind.
GuberNator, please!
My favorite memory is when I was driving to work and an electronic flash board was hyping up the then named N.O. Hornets (now Pelicans). I don’t remember the team they were playing against, but the sign flashed
TICKETS GO ON SALE TOMARROW.
I nearly spit my coffee out because of laughter.
When I got to work, I emailed the stadium where they played and informed them how tomorrow was actually spelled and they might need to take a look at their flash billboard near the Superdome.
By the time I got off work, the word was spelled correctly.
Also from the Big Easy, and the sublimely ridiculous here will never be equaled or exceeded elsewhere!
Here’s the good news. Louisiana high school students were recently recognized as having the second best reading abilities of students in all 50 states. Number 1 was Mississippi. Apparently, teacher pay is not the critical factor.
Should have waited to tell them. Thousands of your fellow commuters would need a laugh on the way to work.

I’m surprised they didn’t respond that’s the correct spelling using ebonics…..
in case anyone axed……
I’m saying this as a self-confessed spelling and grammar Nazi.
Can’t we give them a little grace?
