    This CPS parent feels extremely validated by this vote. The mayor and CPS have been terrible throughout this whole thing.

    In addition, 90 percent of delegates voted "no confidence" in the district leadership of Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Chicago Public Schools.

    No matter which way the vote goes today, people will be harmed, and I will never forgive and for what they’ve put teachers, students & families through on top of everything else we’re all dealing with right now. Didn’t have to be this way.

    I first heard of Karen Lewis when I was trying to figure out the corporate interests behind Kenya's school system change. She had fire for teachers and for education. May she rest in power. And may we carry on with her fire.

    Karen Lewis was a force in the labor movement and a fierce advocate for education justice. We've lost a true champion for teachers and workers everywhere. May she forever rest in power.

    I write about the issues at stake in the sharpening debate over opening schools in the midst of the worst crisis in modern American history & why teachers & all workers should have a say in their working conditions. Chicago teachers have provided a model.

    Real question for CPS...since teachers are already facing level 3 discipline for communicating with parents/LSC about safety concerns, should they be worried about being on the school based Safety Committee outlined in the framework?

    Karen knew.

    Karen Lewis is addressing the IFT convention, shouting out her comrades: "you're at it again with another lying mayor." She's reminding everyone the members run the union, which doesn't get.
