WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Oct 31, 2019

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.400
<v Speaker 1>For almost two weeks. A teacher strike is cripple to

0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:07.119
<v Speaker 1>schools in Chicago. The Chicago Tribute and Editorial Board complains

0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:10.920
<v Speaker 1>that over three hundred thousand children have been locked out

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>of classrooms because the union wants to show their new

0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:17.720
<v Speaker 1>progressive mayor, Laurie Lightweight who's the boss. A teachers union

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:20.639
<v Speaker 1>is demanding billions in spending on top of the eight

0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>billion dollar education budget. Mere Lightweight says the city just

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have the money. Meanwhile, the children are suffering. Aside

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>from missing weeks of class and liberal inductrination, student athletes

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 1>have been hit pretty hard. Rules say that they cannot

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>compete if schools not in session. Many of them have

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 1>already missed important competitions that could have led to scholarships.

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Now those opportunities are not going to come back. So

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.559
<v Speaker 1>for a bunch of low incomes Chicago students, their college

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 1>dreams may be over. Chicago Teachers Union Vice president Stacy

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Davis Gates admitted that there is nothing will be able

0:00:57.600 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>to say to any student athlete to make it better.

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:04.680
<v Speaker 1>It sucks, she said. The Chicago Tribune editorial board really furious.

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>They slammed the union for taking an unreasonable position in

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>the strike, and for such a lame apology to the

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>affected kids. It's really unusual for the media to attack unions, folks,

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>but this time the teachers crossed the line. It's so

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 1>obvious that they're all about themselves and not for the children,

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 1>that even fellow liberals can't defend them. Never thought I'd

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:29.679
<v Speaker 1>see this day.
