Disgusting! Chicago teachers union thugs protest outside of 9-11 memorial event

obama-flyIs nothing sacred to leftists and union thugs anymore? Today is a the 11th anniversary of the Muslim terrorist attack that killed around 3,000 Americas in what is simply known as 9/11. Yet leftists who became truthers over the years and union thugs don’t seem to care. Instead, Chicago teacher union thugs who make on average $30,000 more than the average citizen on Chicago AND get benefits decided protest outside of a 9/11 memorial event. At least they sang ‘Amazing Grace and allegedly carried American flags, though if you look at the snap shot at Gateway Pundit, I don’t seen any flags. As usual, Obama is no where to be found. Where’s the leadership?

Union thugs wonder why people are getting increasingly angry at them? Here is a perfect example.

    Rahm needs to pull a “Reagan” and draw a line in the sand.

    I was part of the strike this morning, and we had no idea he was there for a memorial. A few minutes after we were told, and some teachers realized, we set ourselves on the sides of the sidewalk to not disturb people, the musicality group of the school sang amazing grace, we lowered our signs, and we were quiet until Pat Quinn finished giving his speech and drove away.
    I do not believe that’s disrespectful, and I know for a fact that my teachers are not greedy, nor deserve to be fired. A french teacher today was there with her 5 month baby and changed him on the grass outside of school. Our teachers also parents, and their kids are also in CPS, they also have to deal with daycare. SO MANY teachers did not want to go on strike, a favorite of mine was told that the decision to let her buy her house would depend on the end of the strike and how long it lasted. Teachers are also risking a lot.
    The strike that’s happening is a last means of fighting, of letting them know that they cannot step all over CTU, we’re fighting for respect, and treatment they deserve.
    It’s not just about payment… talk to a teacher, try to be in their shoes. The media portrays every strike or summit or anything poorly, don’t buy into their twisted messages.
    Teachers are our educators and in CPS they go above and beyond, they stay after school for students, they give up their lunch period to help out a student, some teachers even pay for their student supplies.
    Thousands of teachers did not just decide one day that they were going to on strike, and not teach their students, it was something developed over time. They’re still waking up at 5 in the morning and going to school, they’re still teaching us, they’re teaching us to stand up for what we believe in and be part of something greater. To BE part of something and help each other out. These are life lessons that are worth more than what 2+2 is.

    Also, that picture is not where Pat Quinn was at. He was at the public library, which is one block away from Curie. That’s in the Southside. not downtown.

    Abigal, if thats truly how you feel cross the line and go.teach. If its not money and you dont agree with the strike, stand tall and do your job. If you agree with the strike, why?
