Teachers Union: Reopening Schools ‘Rooted in Sexism, Racism, Misogyny’
Local 1 of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) deleted its tweet on Sunday that stated, “The push to reopen schools is rooted in sexism, racism and misogyny.”
Director of School Choice at the Reason Foundation Corey DeAngelis noted Monday CTU “filed a request for an injunction to stop in-person instruction that is supposed to start January 11th”– the day after it deleted its tweet condemning the reopening of schools:
Chicago Teachers Union just filed a request for an injunction to stop in-person instruction that is supposed to start January 11th.

. . .DeAngelis further observed the “reopening” scheduled for January 11 in Chicago is “only for ‘students in pre-K and cluster programs.’”
Elementary and middle school students are scheduled to return to in-person instruction in February.
He continued that, while CTU quoted Dr. Anthony Fauci in its request for an injunction, it omitted Fauci’s quote in which he stated, “The default position should be to try as best as possible within reason to keep the children in school […] the spread among children & from children is not really big at all.”
