I tried hard to word a decent headline but the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) makes it impossible. The teachers will not return to the classroom with the students in January. So the cash-strapped city will hire supervisors to be in classes and at the school with the students. This is because the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) refuses to get back to work.

The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) already proved they don't care about kids because reopening the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is based on "sexism, racism, and misogyny." The CTU filed an injunction, asking "the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board to halt the return to in-person learning until terms can be 'determined by good-faith collective bargaining instead of by executive fiat.'" The CTU also said, "a strike isn't out of the question."

When a guillotine was placed in front of Amazon boss Jeff Bezos's house, the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) approved of the display: "We are completely frightened by, completely impressed by and completely in support of wherever this is headed. #Solidarity." But did the union use the royal we? Some CTU members went off on Twitter.

My heart breaks for the families who were under lockdown as rioters broke windows and doors of the Chicago Ronald McDonald House. They are only there because they have a child in intensive care. To deal with that on top of it all? Unimaginable.
