Chicago Teachers Union promotes Venezuela regime change protests organized by socialist groups

The Chicago Teachers Union on Saturday promoted a protest of the Trump administration's action in Venezuela hosted by a who's who of far-left organisations, including a group that openly supports socialism.

Activists from the ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Coalition, along with activists from the Party for Socialism and Liberation, organised just hours after news that Venezuela's socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro had been captured by U.S. special forces in a daring mission during the dead of night. By Saturday afternoon, protesters in cities across the nation came together with signs and promotional material made specially for the occasion.

At 1 p.m. (Central Standard Time), the Chicago Teachers Union posted a flyer on its official X account promoting the protests, and directing activists to gather at Federal Plaza at 5 p.m.

Mandatory unionism creates teachers who fund these looney efforts knowing the bosses can get away with it.

I guess they have plenty of time to protest Venezuela since all the kids in Chicago schools are doing so well with reading, writing and doing math.

In 2019, a group of teachers represented by the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) took a trip to Venezuela to visit with government officials and teachers and tour communes.

The Chicago Teachers Union are not even really a union by old school union standards.

Their political allegiance is the same a that of "management", even if they do argue with them about money (as married couple sometimes do).

Close the public schools.

They do way more harm than good.

What if...

...this was multi-level chess on GRANDMASTER scale...

...to include baiting the left into going full-throttle socialist for all the electorate to see?

Gotta tell ya: That they’d fall in line like this never actually occurred to me.

“Brilliant” in a word.

Not a single one of the "protesters" is a Venezuelan expatriate.

These people get upset with DJT over J6 protesters “obstructing the peaceful transition of power” but demand reinstatement of a dictator who literally refused to give up power after losing an election.

Mind boggling.

It was easier in the old days when kids only had to learn to count to six to know their gun was out of ammo. Now in the Glock era they have to take advanced math.

“including a group that openly supports socialism”

Got a surprise for whoever posted this: 100% of the Democrat party and most of the Republican Party support socialism... a socialist Post Office....a socialist Space Station.... a socialist charity system. Most support a socialist NPR/PBS.

Not surprised. Teachers unions are communist organizations.
