Teachers Union in...Venezuela?

  • This spring, the Chicago Teachers Union Executive Board and House of Delegates each unanimously passed a resolution condemning Donald Trump and U.S. intervention in Venezuela. Resources that never seemed to find their way to our classrooms are being used to intervene in the democratic processes of other countries instead.

    This blog represents the members delegation of the Chicago Teacher’s Union that are currently in Venezuela to learn from educators and activists on the ground. The rest of this week, we will be reporting on what we learn and see while we are here.
Um, how about union resources that azren't finding their way into representing their membership first of all? Resources that appear to be supporting all out suppression.

Second, what "intervention"? There aren't any US troops there and the economic sanctions are in place against a regime that refused to recognize the results of an election that threw the socialists out.


It's a communist shithole where government officials are running over protestors in the streets with armored personnel carriers...supported by their fellow travelers - the useful idiots of the CTU.

Don't forget to read your property tax bill to see where your tax money is going, via teacher salaries, to support world wide communist suppression of the downtrodden, elections be damned.

Every meaningful Union member or Boss is bought and paid for by the machine... nothing to see here. Our department and Union is no better than the cook county states attorney office. Pritzker controlls it all. Nothing is legit... if you don't think their way you will never have a meaningful promotion.

Communist propaganda pure and simple, Venezuela is a cesspool of violence and hunger. The country has the largest reserves of oil in the world, yet they can not feed themselves. Today I learned without a doubt that CTU is not a workers union but simply and arm of the communist party.

They’re on a spring trip to learn how they can be grounded little socialists, so that they may be better equipped to indoctrinate Chicago children this fall.

Since CPS & CTU seem so enthralled with socialism “where everyone is equal” how about we do this -
If you work for CPS, you get $50k/year...period.
Teacher? $50k
Department head? $50k
Counselor? $50k
Principal? $50k
Secretary? $50k
Board of Ed? $50k

When AOC, Fauxcahontas and Bernout make college free for everyone, we expand the program to include universities.
Dean of Harvard? $50k
Football coach? $50k
Professor of advanced physics? $50k
Freshman bussing tables in the cafeteria? $50k

I’ll bet the lefty-loons in education will jump on that bandwagon in a heartbeat .

Teachers are learning communism hidden as democratic politics is the face of the New Democratic Party. Hey asshats, what the hell happen to the party of FDR, JFK, Carter, and Bill Clinton. I am not a democrat or ever voted democrat... but if American government only works if more than one party is effectively putting an effort in government.

Better get your U Haul reserved. The Exodus will continue, and reports like this will only seven to hasten it. The CPS stands for Communist Propaganda Society.

Please pay your property taxes on time the CTU needs your corporation in the indoctrination of your children. How the fuck did we let this happen? More importunely now that it's gone this far how do we turn things around? The CTU has to go one way or another, they have crossed a line that can't be justified even in the f-ed up Illinois court system. I may be wrong about the court system they seem to be able to justify anything.

The CTU is run by people with their own political agenda and it is NOT about the children. Sharkey is from Maine and Davis Gates is from Michigan-carpetbaggers! Both apsire to higher offices on our dime. The teachers and PSRPS are stuck in the middle. Five thousand members voted for the MEMBERSFIRST group BUT 10,000 members didn't care enough to vote-they were elected with the other 10,000. CTU will soon be broke from backing losers. The real question is who is really running the CTU-hint look at their organizers. My dues will go up to support these charlatans but I have to buy cleaning supplies cuz the schools are nasty.

So Jesse Sharkey has finally come out publicly as a full fledged Communist who sent staff to Venezuela to learn how to complete the indoctrination of CPS students on the ways of Communism. And remember, CTU only pays 2% into their pension fund and are again planning to strike for even higher pay. The hell with CTU and their Communist leadership.

Urge you all to go to the opening link and read the article. These are the teachers teaching your kids in the CPS. Not even bothering to hide their Communistic tendencies anymore. Urge anyone with children in the CPS to monitor just what your children are being taught in your, yes your, schools. If your are concerned confront the teacher and administration everyday if necessary. These are your children and your schools get involved only to stop the liberal Communist teachings. Confront and challenge, get right in their faces, your only hope.

So what are you with children in the CPS going to do about this? Are you going to allow your children to be indoctrinated? Read the link and see exactly what they want to do o your child. Better get involved unless you want a house full of little communists. Think I am kidding, read the article and see for your self. I'm mad and I left Chicago and Illinois years ago. Better stop this now, in the words of your new leftist Mayor aggressive resistance is required. Do what you have to do to stop this BS. I know if I had children in the CPS those people would not be allowed to teach my children. Do whatever you have to do to stop this. Lots of very devious ways to discourage these communists. Get creative.

Lets see a communist dictator, repressing the people, rampart inflation rendering the local currency worthless, violent riots in the streets, military keeping the dictator in power. So CPS sends a delegation to this situation to learn what? Typical liberal common sense, learn the absolute worst possible outcomes and teach those outcomes to the next generation. CPS stands for Communist Propaganda Society. This trip proves that point. Aggressive resistance is in order here, o what it takes to put these people out.

Venezuela is what Socialism does.

Venezuela was the richest nation in South America a few decades ago. Then came Chavez and his Socialist Bolivarian Republic. Now Venezuela cannot even produce oil anymore. Oil exports have collapsed after Chavez and his hand picked successor, Maduro the Bus Driver, put their political cronies in charge of the nationalized (stolen) oil companies. You thought the clouted clowns in the CPD were incompetent? Imagine if Special Ed was put in charge of an oil refinery? Or Alexandria Ocasio Cortez was put in charge of an oil depot?

This what Bernie and his Socialist buddies want for America.

Maduro also put his military buddies in charge of food distribution for Venezuela. That is why people are starving.

+++++ Already on our first evening here, we’ve been having beautiful discussions with Dozthor Zurlent, an educator who works for the Venezuelan Ministry of Education. He was also a part of the revolutionary wars in Nicaragua and El Salvador. +++++

Beautiful discussions, really?? And exactly what did the Godless Communist Savage murderer have to share that was 'beautiful'? How he butchered some evil capitalist in their jungle camp and made a stew of his entrails? And did you 'educators' share those beautiful stories with your classrooms when you got back to Chicago?

It's bullshit like this why the children of today are brain-washed 'droids who hate America. The 'teachers' are hard-core Communists.

Please know that many members of the CTU are not on board and are disgusted with their current agenda. Unfortunately, the current leaders were voted in again. Many of us simply want our union to curb their involvement with issues that are not related to the purpose of the union. We would like to see more interest in protecting our jobs and working to improve working conditions, salary, insurance costs, etc. It seems to many of us they have gotten themselves in issues that are outside of the sphere of their purpose, and we are not happy about it.

The only U.S. involvement so far has been to send trucks of food and medical supplies to the border, but the socialist dictator Madero will not allow them to enter. President Donald Trump is backing opposition leader Juan Guaido. Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswomen Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar endorse Madero staying in power. Venezuelan refugees who have fled to Florida are backing Trump's policy.

Refresher training for CPS cadre on the basics of socialism and its application on young impressionable minds. K thru 8, public HS, then on to free college and graduation as a jobless dullard trained in anti government rhetoric, bullying and activism. The education arm of the old soviet style "Komsomol".

Aren't you glad your tax dollars are paying for all this good education and the teachers pension too. You're going to love it even better when little Ms. Lori agrees to the new bloated CPS contract. Gimmy, gimmy, mine, mine, more, more, free, free , just gimmy your money.

One of the U.S. policies that hurts the Venezuelan people is the war on drugs. It has driven a million people across the border from Columbia and other countries because they are unsafe and because of the generous welfare enjoyed in socialist Venezuela, overtaxing the system, bigly. While this sounds like a reasonable explanation, one that is both believable and coincidently also true, you will never hear the left cite this as one of their grievances because many of them are either involved, benefit by, use or protect "immigrants at risk" for such nonsense or their Democratic overlords won't permit, repeat or support such claims, because they are all in on it. Drugs come with immigrants and so just suck it up and deal with it.

The leadership and the very pillars of CPS and CTU are openly Communist and CP members.

These Communists control every aspect of your curriculum, your schedule, your employment and your income. Your dues are funding and strengthening Communist idealogy,travel, numerous events with Communist Honorees, Fundraising and open activities. Do something about it, like a strike. After all you fund this which makes you a supporter. I am sorry to break it to you and wish you luck.

However, they used our union name to raise funds to go, they blogged in our name, and they gained entry to the country in CTU's name. They met with Maduro's government officials. This is no "socialist paradise." This is a dictatorship that functions through repression and corruption!! I promise you! Rank-and-file teachers did NOT approve this action! We want no part of it!
