As the standoff between city government officials and the Chicago Teachers Union over reopening the Windy City's public school system has now reached the White House, the CTU released a video over the weekend that has received pushback. The video features six of the Chicago public school system's dance teachers, expressively depicting their yearning for safety as they are being pressured to return to work. The performance, shot in various locations, is entitled "The Moment We're Safe."(Snip) The responses to the video were not overly supportive.

Safe?
If safety was important to them they wouldn't be in Chicago at all.

Insane! This really underscores the degree of education that has been conferred on those who teach our children. The vast majority of teachers retire well before they enter into the ranks of elderly, higher risk individuals. Statistics irrefutably show that catching the Wuhan flu is not particularly dangerous to them. C'mon, Teach! Step up! Show a little spine!

Lol, nothing more than zombies who were brain washed and indoctrinated on the communist plantation. Want pure scum you got it. Again, democrats have sold the souls of their children to their communist party. Disgusting and appalling. Oh, and understand, the unions are the ones pushing this. The same unions that preach about the little guy. Bullsh**.

I am at school right now. Have been here since the end of July. Yes, we have had covid cases and as far as they could tell the people caught it off school property. There has not been any person to person transfer in the school. We have sanitizer, guards, tissues, sprays, distancing, masks, wipes, prepackaged lunches, spacing in buses, and on and on. These so called professionals should be fired and replaced. Teachers are not dropping dead from covid. So what is their real reason for refusing to come back to work?

What a coincidence. I have an "interpretive finger dance" (solo) for the teachers' unions. Interpret THIS.

Not only is leadership in Chicago, nearly every single other large American city and Washington D.C. criminal but they are also certifiably insane.

First, I am a fan of the art form of dance. Daughter is a professional ballerina.
But what I saw in the video saddens me. Interpretive dance is the equivalent of a participation trophy at as karate tournament. Affirmative action set to music.
Why would a school district even hire dance teachers??? How about instead hiring extra reading teachers? Math teachers??

I would ask why they are wasting money by teaching dancing in public school but I know better. Besides, most of their students come by it naturally.

Are any of these teachers employed at schools where ZERO children are performing at grade level in English and Math?

These teachers are safe, they usually have the same (26) students every day, while the grocery clerks have 2,600 different folks every day. Go figure.
Increase the pay for essential workers, doc the pay for teachers who don't work.

Wow, Hidin' Biden supports the Teachers union but hates and wants to eliminate the welder's, pi-fitters, electricians, laborers, teamsters and so many others involved in mundane jobs like construction unions. Why does Joe hate most unions but supports teachers?

Really? This is just nutso, completely unhinged. That they think this is of any possible value is proof of their lack of fitness to be in any way associated with educating children.
Fire all these fake teachers and find some who will actually teach.

First, lay off the dance, gym, art, music, and other non academic teachers in subjects that really can't/shouldn't be taught online. What are these people being paid for right now? Bet they will want to return to in-person teaching real fast! If they can get together to plan, produce a video, they can teach an in-person class. The Chicago Teacher's Union seems to be more interested in Social Justice and just about everything else but teaching and the students best interests in mind. The union's militant leaders are more like banana republic dictators than educators!

It great to live in a dream world! Especially when the unionized teachers can rely on the leftist and liberal Democrats to throw taxpayer’s money at every supposed problem that the teacher’s unions cry about.

The fact is, if they are using 2020 funds that were authorized by congress to build that wall, then they can tell Biden to pound sand.

It's so unsafe, my cousin, who works as a teacher in Chicago, and lives in the City of Chicago, went to Costa Rica for her Winter break.

Frankly, I'm quite happy that these self-absorbed, infantile, intellectually challenged dancers (?) aren't teaching our children. Print another 5 trillion and tell them they will get paid as long as they never set foot in a SCHOOL.
Money well printed.

This video is an open and shut case on why teachers unions should be banned everywhere in this country. These mentally disturbed flag waving commies in the video and in the teachers union should not be allowed within a million miles of any children never mind be allowed to teach them.
Want to take back our Republic? In the top five priorities is abolishing teachers unions.
By the way watching the video the image that came into my mind is how there are probably litter boxes stationed throughout the apartments and homes of these bitter angry women and are all full of cat turds.
Abolish the communist death democrats Teachers Unions.
Free America and our children's minds.

My Dad imparted this bit of wisdom; "Don't take yourself so seriously, you're not that important." My take on interpretive dance is merely a bunch of idiots flailing their appendages and trying to find a reason for doing so...while being so serious.

Everything that everyone ever needed to know about so-called teacher's unions is bound up in this immature, highly offensive stunt. They are an extortionist racket and should be charged under RICO statutes.

Pathetic. The teacher unions should be abolished. The union heads are usually crooked. They force teachers to join to be “protected.” If you’re a right to work state like NV, you don’t have the pressure of joining the union. Most teachers here do not belong, but the union bosses act like they’re so powerful.

Safety in Chicago, where on any given weekend, the news that a child had been shot in the head is no longer shocking. Safety for the kids in Chicago is quite a novel concept. Good thing their selfless teachers are on it.

The standards for teachers and their administrators have been lowered so far ie: affirmative hiring that this is where we are. Kids cannot spell, add or point out a country on a map but they know who to hate. It is over.
