The teachers' union thugs of Chicago

 Jazz Shaw:

The Chicago teachers union is above the law

I have yet to see a persuasive argument from this gang.  They act like kids are Typhoid Marys, when the data shows just the opposite. 

...

In the longer term, the Chicago Teachers Union needs to be destroyed. They don’t need to have fines imposed on them or new rules voted on. They need to be permanently disbanded. Then start the process of hiring non-union teachers who will actually do their jobs. These teachers’ unions have grown far too powerful and are way too comfortable holding a figurative gun to the heads of all of the students and their families at the drop of a hat. No private group should have this much power and the ability to thumb their nose at the laws.

While the mayor is correctly up in arms about this abuse by the union, Illinois is dysfunctional enough to let the thugs get away with what they are doing.
