May Day Politics Come to Classrooms

“Chicago Public Schools has struck a deal with the city’s teachers’ union that turns students into political props. On May 1, a regular school day, children will participate in rallies and civic lessons before being bused to a union rally at Union Park. The agreement promises no retaliation for participants and for joint lobbying in Springfield. This deal does nothing to advance education. It simply enables the union to use children as pawns to demand more money from the very taxpayers funding the system.” (04/30/26)
