Chicago Teachers Union to celebrate ‘Black Lives Matter at School Month’ in February
Chicago City Wire ^ | 01/23/2024 | Staff

Posted on 01/25/2024 11:21:55 AM PST by simpson96

The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) House of Delegates has passed a resolution during their meeting on January 10th. The resolution promises that teachers and members will celebrate Black Lives Matter throughout February, with union members donning t-shirts and incorporating at least one approved lesson into their classrooms.

According to the CTU's resolution, there is also an emphasis on advocacy that aligns with "the national demands for hiring more Black teachers and ending the pushout of Black teachers in our schools, proper implementation of restorative practices in schools and ending zero tolerance discipline, teaching students Black history and other ethnic studies curricula."

The resolution mandates members to conduct "one or more lessons" in the classroom between Feb. 5 and Feb. 16, and share photos and lesson plans with the union. The CTU has designated Feb. 5 - 9 as the week for preparation, offering educator workshops, and Feb. 12 - 15 as the week for teaching.

The CTU represents 23,371 Chicago Public Schools teachers. It is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers– chartered in 1937 as its Local 1– and the AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations).

“...ending the pushout of Black teachers in our schools”

Sure. Show me ONE case where that’s happened. My sister has seen a couple of schools turn from 95% white teachers and administrators to 5% white teachers and administrators in the course of a decade.

I thought it was Black History Month?

We all agree that black lives matter but Black Lives Matter is a Marxist movement. It's important to emphasize the difference.

Whites, Asians and Latinos go to the back of the bus.

Black lives only seem to matter to other races, not black fingers on triggers.

Riots, murders, mass shootings, looting, arson, and violence will be held in celebration of our hero drug addicts and criminals who were needlessly cut down in the prime of their lives as they were just turning their lives around.

How did reading and math skills fare under The Black Teachers Revolution?

Only 11% of the students in Chicago public schools are white while 33% of the city's population is non-Hispanic white. Chicago has had an extensive Catholic school network for over a century. Chicago attracted large immigrant groups from the Catholic parts of Europe in the 19th and early 20th Centuries.

Since 2018, Hispanics have outnumbered blacks in the Chicago public schools. Hispanics also outnumber blacks in the city's population. Pushing black grievances will not sell well with the surging Hispanic community.

With all the pressure to push them through the school system, the graduation rate stayed very high.

But this was near Baltimore where you can find entire districts without a SINGLE pupil doing math or reading at grade level.

In other words, just as you’d expect. They never got rid of my sister because she delivered great results. She’s been retired a year now and misses the kids, but not all the crap piled infinitely high.

“Pushing black grievances will not sell well with the surging Hispanic community.”

Indeed. BLM pushing cheap t-shirts in grade school is a fitting end to BLM in Chicago. After Mayor Groot ordered BLM to attack Mexican neighborhoods in Cicero in May 2020, BLM was pushed back into the ghetto after Mexicans literally beat the snot out of BLM. Mexicans set up armed barricades in the streets and positioned shooters atop buildings, ala the rooftop Koreans during the 1992 LA riots.

This is another example of Obuma’s so-called “army” getting pulverized.

Dear Chiraq PS teachers:

If you believe that black lives matter, why not give your students an excellent education?
