Chicago Teachers Union Tweets Reopening Schools Would be Racist, Sexist, AND Misogynistic - And Then Deletes It! [Updated]
PJ Media ^ | 6 dec 2020 | Bryan Preston

The Chicago Teacher Union unleashed this pearl on an unsuspecting world Sunday.

Since we knew they would delete it, we preserved it in digital amber.

The union offered no explanation, evidence, or any other factual support for its hot take, probably figuring that including the three magic words would just do the trick on their own. But they’re not, and the tweet is being given its due even after the CTU attempted to get rid of it.

Reopening Schools Would be Racist, Sexist, AND Misogynistic

I agree with the union. The schools should all be closed and all employees laid off. It would be racist to do otherwise.

But I'm still trying to figure out the sexist and misogynistic part. Maybe they only let male students attend the schools in Chicago?

People in my area don’t understand that the reason the schools are closed is because the teachers union refuses to teach children in person. When I explain that to them they look at me like I just informed them that Betty Crocker isn’t actually hot (yeah, I know she must be but just needed an example). Confusion, denial, then a smidgen of anger. Because many of them are struggling mightily because having the kids home makes it hard for them to be outside the home working. And they need paychecks.

In Fairfax County, VA, the union is saying they will not return until September 2021.

If this were happening 30 years ago when my kids were in grade school I’d be happy not to send them to these communist indoctrination camps. Thank God I taught them to be of critical minds and patriots.

If kids are NOT going to go to school, can we stop FUNDING the schools?

“Reopening Schools Would be Racist, Sexist, AND Misogynistic”


When I first read this I was think along the lines that white male students must somehow immune to the effects of Wuhan. But I realized that I had it backwards, the Chicago Teachers’ Union is led by a large black woman, and it is she and others like the union is looking out for.

Forgive my ignorance, how do “Sexist and Misogynistic” differ?

And a real effort, financed by real conservatives, should be mobilized to start more private schools.

Contract space from Churches which are also hurting, rent space from small business (restaurants/bars with seating capacity)...spaces on lockdown.

Can you or any other Freepers familiar with the Chicago Teachers Union provide the names of its leaders, say the top 10? Want to see who “of interest” pop’s up.

I can’t claim to be familiar with the Chicago teachers union but here is their executive board.

The union’s president is one Keven Sharkey who’s a good socialist/left winger.

Racist, sexist...

It’s the catechism of the Left.

This situation has led many parents who accepted sub-par schools because they only sought daycare to face the fact that they’ve lost the daycare as well...
