Mayor Rahm Puts Striking Teachers In A No Win Position

  As the countdown continued toward today’s one-day teachers strike, I started getting calls from the we-love-Rahm community—there are still a few members out there—teasing me about my “Jacobin friends” in the Chicago Teachers Union.

           As though that’s what her parents had named her.

           In fact, many of CTU’s recent actions leave me scratching my head. Like its inability to just bury the hatchet already in its endless fight with state rep Christian Mitchell.

           And I go back to the days of Daddy Daley—as in Richard J.

           Unfortunately for teachers, as bad as Rahm is, Rauner’s even worse—what with his talk of bankrupting CPS.

           A lot of these parents aren’t even to be blamed, ’cause they voted for Jesus Garcia in the last mayoral election.
