Lester Holt, NBC news anchor around 5:40 PM CDT on 9/9/12 went to a reporter, in Chicago, and the reporter said that appx. 400,000 children would not be "instructed" if the teachers went on strike.

Obamanomics in action, if you "rich" Americans don't give us Chicago teachers, more money, we will stop "instructing".

[DallasBiff]

The NEA, National Education Association, is flexing their muscle, against Obama and Chicago surrogate Rahm Emmanuel, and of course the democrats will wilt in the face of the NEA.

400,000 children would not be "instructed" if the teachers went on strike.

Sure they will, they'll all learn to hold a gun sideways so it looks cool when firing into a crowd.

[Jim Robinson]

The kids would probably be better off without government “instruction.”

[FamiliarFace]

I expect that this change would be an improvement for students.

[muir_redwoods]

What are the chances the kids actually get smarter during the strike?

[evad]

I don’t know about smarter but they definitely will get less “indoctrinated”.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

They’re not getting “instruction” now. One of THE worsts school districts in the country.

Given the state of the CPS, is that really such a bad thing?

government employees should not be able to strike

schools should not belong to government

[GeronL]

how many of those teachers speak ebonics?

[max americana]

Or “Student indoctrination and wasteful union spending suspended on teachers strike”.

But, the left loves to exploit children (and a finite number of other groups), for political gain.

[USNBandit]

The union’s initial demand included a 19% pay raise the first year.

That ought to set them back for about 15 minutes.
