CHICAGO – When the White House officially had “no comment” on the Chicago teachers’ strike, EAGnews.org wanted to know what the union activists thought. Our team got some pretty interesting answers and they could be trouble signs for President Obama.

One teacher, holding a sign reading “Obama don’t ignore us,” told EAG, “I think most teachers understand that his education policy is pretty bad and it really neglects us. And I want to, through all this – he has to look at us and hear what we’re having to say, instead of just pretending like this isn’t happening. I made this sign when they asked his press secretary for comment and they had no comment. It was a national story – Romney had commented, Paul Ryan had commented, Rahm Emanuel had commented, the White House wouldn’t comment. And that’s what he has to know. There’s a lot of teachers in Ohio. There’s a lot of teachers in Wisconsin. All those swing states are full of teachers and if he keeps ignoring us, he’s gonna start regretting it.”
