Why doesn’t a “union”, who is supposed to “protect the workers”, do like all the other unions USED to do, and BLAME THE SCHOOL BOARDS!!

The OLD days, it was ‘management’ vs. ‘unions’.

What happened??????????

Now, if there are “rich white people” at the top of the school boards, then THAT is where the problem lies, for their financial woes.

I agree. Rich white people like Franklin Roosevelt, Albert Gore, Sr, Owen Josephus Roberts and on and on.

I am stunned by the stupidity of this woman. One has to assume that she probably believes what she is saying. Ugh.

I come from a family of liberals and was one myself until I taught in NYC public schools as a young man. What initially made me convert was seeing how this “blame everyone but myself” was so widespread, and how it was this attitude - not race, not money - that was the biggest obstacle in the way of anyone getting a good education.

To follow through on her logic, rich “black people” or “rich fill-in-the-blank people” can’t teach “white kids” or know what’s best for “white kids”. What a racist nutjob she is.

In a speech Wednesday before the upscale City Club of Chicago, Lewis asked, "When will we address the fact that rich, white people think they know what's in the best interest of children of African-Americans and Latinos — no matter what the parent's income or education level."

What compels a "rich, white person" to sit and listen to racist screeds like this?

Why invite her? Why give her a forum? Why listen to her? You know what you're going to get: The blame.

One look at the picture of this dirigible wannabe, and it all becomes clear what’s wrong with the public school system!

I never see these teacher unions out protesting the Govt. about unemployment in the private sector. The “it’s for the kids” and using children at their protests are all about their own benefits (pension and insurance).

You’re kidding right?

She is following a well proven formula; she is playing to the audience.

This is exactly what Chicago expects to hear. This is the city that elected Rom Emanuel, Obama’s socialist pit bull ballerina, as mayor
