Chicago Public Schools Cancel Classes After Teachers Vote Against In-Person Instruction - WSJ

City leaders called the vote by the Chicago Teachers Union an illegal job action and said teachers who didn’t report to work wouldn’t receive pay. The administration promised to provide parents with a plan later Wednesday for how it would resume operations in the face of the walkout.

It must be super embarrassing for these government officials to be so publicly humiliated. In case there was any real doubt about who was in control.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Tuesday that the shift to online learning last year had been very difficult on working families and hurt many students. “Achievement gaps are real and they are affecting kids of color at an exponential rate,” she said.

And what has she done about it? Nothing.

How about authorizing some new charter schools, Lori?
