A teachers' union has been forced to delete a post urging the 'ultra-wealthy' to fully fund schools after it was mocked online for misspelling 'governor.'
On Tuesday, the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) circulated a flyer on social media, urging the public to pressure state leaders to tax billionaires to fund struggling public institutions.
It comes months after a report found the district is $1.6 billion short of necessary funding, according to Chicago Public Media.
The union's flyer went after Democratic Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, a multibillionaire heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune, demanding that the 'ultra-wealthy pay their fair share and fully fund our schools.'
But the irony that a spelling mistake appeared in a post shared by the state's own educators was quickly picked up by online users.
At the very top, the post declared, 'TELL GOVERNER PRITZKER' - a glaring typo that quickly became the subject of ridicule.
