Chicago Teachers Union calls for school shutdown on May Day to protest TrumpThe Chicago Teachers Union is advocating for a day off for teachers and students on May 1, for the national May Day movement.May Day is also known as International Worker’s Day, which celebrates workers and advocates for labor rights.On Wednesday, the union approved a resolution to designate May 1 as the day of “Civic Action and Defense of Public Education,” and seeking support for this from Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Chicago’s Board of Education.”If we still want to have democracy in the midterms this November, public schools that provide our students with quality education, and unions to defend workers’ rights, then it is up to every Chicagoan to stand up for what we believe in and show the authoritarian billionaire in Washington that when he breaks every rule, we will not go along with business as usual,” CTU Vice President Jackson Potter said in a statement.The union claimed in the resolution that public education is under attack by “MAGA politicians,” seemingly referring to supporters of President Donald Trump.The resolution says “public education is facing an unprecedented national assault driven by MAGA politicians, billionaire donors, and corporate interests who seek to privatize our schools, censor educators, ban books, dismantle civil rights protections, criminalize and separate immigrant families, and weaken workers’ unions.”The union said it was standing with Minnesota and advocated for keeping Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) out of cities.It also called for policies to “tax the rich.”
