Why Chicago’s Fight With Teachers Is the Sign of a Much Bigger Problem

Greetings,

 

 

The signs of a thriving, bustling, and advanced society…one that will prosper in future years are it’s financial commitment to it’s learning establishment. It’s financial commitment to it’s youth and students.

When we think of a prosperous society we think of it’s future leaders having vision, having passion, having dedication, having unburdened and unrestrained pathways to inhibit their drive to advance the entire society. This is not the case here in America.

She is in total decline. Her institutions are in decay. Her students are saddled and burdened enormous financial burdens before ever they receive their degree of learning.

This is a not an environment conducive to progression and enlightenment. This is an atmosphere of despair and a recipe for rebellion and insurrection in the near future. All of the signs are telling us that this is a more than likely scenario for America as her students rebel and her teachers strike and their higher ups become more confused.

This is a great example of a falling and failing society & nation. Hence, we are starring in the mirror looking at the fall of America in real time. There is no doubt about it!

…”The American people actually have come to the point where they hate their own educational system. This means that they are now hating and destroying their civilization because it is education that civilizes people.

The American people no longer want their education and they are destroying the very houses that house their text books of education. They are rebelling against their teachers and then they set their houses on fire – schools, colleges and universities. This means in words, as I have said above, that they are destroying their own civilization.

The Black people of today who are blindly helping the white people to destroy this civilization are like Samson was in his day and time; he helped to pull the building down, but he was blind to the effect of the destruction of the building. All Samson wanted to do was to get even with his mockers who had put out his eyes and who laughed at him. Samson did not care whether there would be a civilization left behind him or not. He was willing to die, blind to the knowledge of the future of his people and those people he was destroying.

Throughout America, her colleges, her universities and her teachers are in danger. The students no longer want old world guidance. It is a new world that they want. But in their mad destruction of the old world they do not know how to prepare for a new world civilization. They do not have guidance for a new civilization, and in their madness they refuse to hear a teacher teaching of an educational system of a better civilization…the civilization of the Black man.”-Chp.21(tfoa)

Why Chicago’s Fight With Teachers Is the Sign of a Much Bigger Problem

–
Chicago public schools want concessions to patch a busted budget, and teachers are angry.

Simmering tensions at Chicago public schools rose a notch last week with the announcement that school employees would have to take three unpaid days off this school year.

Chicago Public Schools CEO Forrest Claypool said that the move to lop off one day in March and two days in June is an effort to “chip away at our budget gap” and would save $30 million.

Karen Lewis, Chicago Teachers Union president, responded that adding the unpaid days to a 7% giveback on teacher pension contributions the school district is already requesting in contract negotiations would make for an 8.6% pay cut overall.

And so the Chicago Teachers Union, the third largest in the country, said the system’s move “all but assures” that teachers will go on strike, perhaps as soon as April 1.

The Chicago fracas is emblematic of the grim state of public school/teacher relations across the U.S., a relationship that resembles the exhausted late rounds of a heavyweight boxing match.

Public school teachers’ unions, once able to guarantee their members ever rising wages but now weakened by years of attacks from elected officials, are fighting a rearguard battle with financially insolvent school systems—battered by sagging funding and higher enrollments—to retain pay and benefits won long ago.

The Chicago school system, which employs 37,400 workers, is facing a $1 billion shortfall—larger than most school districts, but far from unique. Major school systems across the country are being rocked by budget gaps and other problems….More Here
