Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Blames Trump for Teachers Union Standoff

Dr. Susan Berry 3 Feb 2021

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blamed former President Donald Trump for the standoff between the city and the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU), whose members have defied an order to return to their classrooms and threatened a possible strike.

As Fox News reported, Lightfoot and Chicago Public Schools (CPS) CEO Janice Jackson released a statement Monday evening saying that CPS had backed down on its threat to lock teachers out of remote learning portals if they refused to show up for preparation for in-person instruction.

As I foresaw in this thread, http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,427518.0.html (http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,427518.0.html) , the union owns too many Chicago pols and Lightfoot had to back down (maybe the union holds her leash, too?). Trump has been out of office for two weeks. Maybe someone should tell Lightfoot that her go-to bogeyman is gone.

As I said.  She doesn't have the stones to end this standoff.

The chicago teachers union owns mayor beetlejuice.  She ain't got nuttin to make them return to the classroom  except for one thing.... and she will not use it like Ronnie did when the ATC went on strike.

Of course she does.  And it was Trump - not Mrs. O'Leary's cow - that was responsible for the 1871 Chicago fire.
