On day two of the Chicago Teachers Union strikes, thousands of the highest-paid teachers in the country once again occupied the streets, causing a traffic nightmare for the taxpaying—and working—residents of Chicago.
Teachers proudly marched in solidarity with the International Socialists Organization, Occupy Chicago, and dozens of other far left-wing radical organizations. When asked how helpful Occupy Chicago has been in organizing the protests, Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis told EAGNews, “…I haven’t really been working with the organizing side…but I’m sure it’s been good.”.........................
Another teacher, wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt, proclaimed that “he is a great roll model for the people” as she held up her iron fist of solidarity.
In its second day, the Chicago Teachers Union strike plays host to a teacher exclaiming "this is the best I've felt in my entire career teaching!" Another protester, wearing a Che Guevara shirt, says he was a "role model standing for the people." At that point, she showed the socialist fist.
EAGnews.org chronicles the general carnival-like atmosphere in the streets of Chicago as the teachers continue to betray the students.

Gotta love Breitbart.
When any entity holds a public demonstration or march, the supporters who show up will almost always represent a variety of interests and ideals. To associate the teachers union with every group or agenda based organization that came out in support is irrational.
If I throw a neighborhood barbecue and my gay neighbors accept my invitation, it does not make me gay nor does it automatically infer that I support whatever political views my gay neighbors might have.
Guilt by association, in this manner, is a weak argument.
Has it really gotten so bad that we're having to invoke McCarthy's ghost?

The teachers are not the problem. They are oft times demonized, it's a mistake. The unions are the problem.

I don't know. Do you think they were invited by the Union leadership? Or did they just show up? I wonder if they all had permits? It was probably a concerted effort.
And? Were the teachers supposed to tell them to leave?
Yes I believe----do You?
Do you not believe in the 1rst amendment?
Absol-freekin-lootly !!!
Would you make a thread on this if they marched with a group of "international capitalists"?
