1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: For almost two weeks. A teacher strike is cripple to

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,119
Speaker 1: schools in Chicago. The Chicago Tribute and Editorial Board complains

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: that over three hundred thousand children have been locked out

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: of classrooms because the union wants to show their new

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: progressive mayor, Laurie Lightweight who's the boss. A teachers union

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: is demanding billions in spending on top of the eight

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: billion dollar education budget. Mere Lightweight says the city just

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: doesn't have the money. Meanwhile, the children are suffering. Aside

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: from missing weeks of class and liberal inductrination, student athletes

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: have been hit pretty hard. Rules say that they cannot

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: compete if schools not in session. Many of them have

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: already missed important competitions that could have led to scholarships.

13
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: Now those opportunities are not going to come back. So

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: for a bunch of low incomes Chicago students, their college

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: dreams may be over. Chicago Teachers Union Vice president Stacy

16
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: Davis Gates admitted that there is nothing will be able

17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: to say to any student athlete to make it better.

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: It sucks, she said. The Chicago Tribune editorial board really furious.

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: They slammed the union for taking an unreasonable position in

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: the strike, and for such a lame apology to the

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: affected kids. It's really unusual for the media to attack unions, folks,

22
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: but this time the teachers crossed the line. It's so

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: obvious that they're all about themselves and not for the children,

24
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: that even fellow liberals can't defend them. Never thought I'd

25
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: see this day.
