Chicago teachers don’t want to return to school during COVID? Maybe they’d prefer to continue vacationing in Puerto Rico on the taxpayer’s dime:
Chicago Teachers Union leader under fire for pushing remote schooling while vacationing in Caribbean
Here’s the most interesting quote in this article from the vacationing union leader in question, Sarah Chambers, with respect to her willingness to risk COVID infection to vacation but not to teach:
My doc said it’s extremely unlikely for me to get Covid again since I had it so badly,” she continued.
So she can justify vacation travel because her risk of re-infection is low, but Chicago taxpayers can’t use that same justification in asking her to return to the classroom? Where’s her empathy for all the people who can’t go to work because their children aren’t in school, people who – unlike many teachers – aren’t paid when they don’t work?
I hope you all realize soon that the teachers and their union are only out for themselves, and couldn’t care less about you or your children. The union is just another special interest group, wielding votes and political power to spend public money for their own benefit.
