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.
It also included a barcode linking to a May Day Coalition petition, complete with the hashtags #NoKings and #NoBillionaires.
The petition, by contrast, read: 'Help our Governors to stand up against the Trump occupations of our cities... while taking on the billionaires who are bleeding us dry.'

Teachers are not allowed to misspell. That’s all.
The “Teecherz Onion”.
Yup, start with a degree in “Eddikashun” and you get AWFLs who couldn’t pass a real 1930s era Teacher’s Education syllabus.
Yawn...the “ultra-wealthy” don’t owe you a damn dime.
Graduates of the “learing center”😂
Proud supporters of The Learing Center, no doubt.
The Spelling Be?
He be gone.
Not a fat fingering as O and E are at opposite ends of the keyboard. Though, a spell checker would catch it. Idjits.
Teachers can’t depend on spell checker nor use typo as excuse
Especially teachers demandingg more money. Union workers.
This country is #50 in education
Hello!!!!
Go back to the governer’s learing center and study harder.
what’s ultra wealthy? they’ve got a dollar and you have a dime?
Shouldn’t it be blamed on A I?
We are experimenting with our young people. They need to take over the country next. Many of them can’t read. Can you imagine any of them getting together getting a guy to the moon? Or even faking it? No calculators?
Putting up the Empire State Building in 9 months? Or at all
Building the Verrazano Bridge? Even spelling it?
They need to put the machines away and learn. Turn off the electronics
The teachers here are dumber than a box of rocks protected by a union.
My experience reveals that they can’t compose complete sentences, either.
It's all the union. And the union doesn't exist to benefit the students, it exists to benefit the teachers.... and the Democrat Party.
Fat, fugly, stupid, illiterate people have taken over Chicago schools? I think I see the problem now.
