The NEA, National Education Association, is flexing their muscle, against Obama and Chicago surrogate Rahm Emmanuel, and of course the democrats will wilt in the face of the NEA.

400,000 children would not be "instructed" if the teachers went on strike.

Sure they will, they'll all learn to hold a gun sideways so it looks cool when firing into a crowd.

[Jim Robinson]

The kids would probably be better off without government “instruction.”

[FamiliarFace]

I expect that this change would be an improvement for students.

[muir_redwoods]

What are the chances the kids actually get smarter during the strike?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

They’re not getting “instruction” now. One of THE worsts school districts in the country.

[Lionheartusa1]

400,000 students will not be able to get indoctrinated if Chitown teachers strike .

THAT SHOULD BE THIS THREADS TITLE .

[Paladin2]

Given the state of the CPS, is that really such a bad thing?

[GeronL]

government employees should not be able to strike

schools should not belong to government

[Mark]

Democrats hate chilrun!

[USNBandit]

The union’s initial demand included a 19% pay raise the first year.

[pallis]

That ought to set them back for about 15 minutes.

[dynachrome]

Just a little kabuki theater for the taxpayers, the ones that are left, before the cave-in by the Chicago gov’t.

[ncfool]

Actually this sets a good stage for a showdown with the election coming. The longer the strike the more it hurts the RAT’S and Obummer.

[The Sons of Liberty]

The already sky high crime rate in Chi-Town will go even higher.

[combat_boots]

This sounds like an opportunity here to me......

Some people could SEIZE THE INITIATIVE.

How many drug deals will suffer if lil Tradymark can't stack paper correctly?

What about the aspiring public profanicators/rap artists? Who will teach them to chant nigger over and over and call it art?

[MV=PY]

I think we should send in the unemployed flight controllers.

Reagan got it right!

In secret meeting...Rahm and Chi Teachers Union President...

RAHM: "I need for you to get all your teachers out and get out the votes for obama."

UNION PRESIDENT: That's cool, baby, but what's in it for us?"

RAHM: "You go on strike for 3 or 4 days and you and I sit in my office a couple of times a day until day 4 and watch Oprah and Judge Joe Brown. We come out every day and tell the Press we're getting close. On last day we come out smiling and announce we've settled for an 18% raise. Everyone is happy."

UNION PRESIDENT: "Sounds like a good plan. Ugh...Hmm...Aren't you forgetting something, sweetie?"

RAHM: "Oh, yeah..... At midnight tonight, go to 63rd & Stoney and park in front of that pool hall. I'll have the Police Commissioner send a guy to break the street light, so it will be darker. I'll have someone meet you with an envelope."

UNION PRESIDENT: "Make sure it's a thick envelope. I'll be 50 years old next year and I'm retiring. I means, I worked hard for this early retirement. I needs me a big fine White-man's House down in Palm Beach."

RAHM: "How about instead of a thick envelope, I send it in a brief case? It's DNC money, anyway."

UNION PRESIDENT: "You da man, sugar. Now, give me little kiss and let's go speak to the Press about my strike."

[SuziQ]

Heh, they might be better off not having to spend time in those classrooms.

[terycarl]

one of the best bargains that we could get for our money would be to let them strike....remember the air traffic controllers???
