It might be America's worst teachers' union—and knowing American teachers' unions, that's saying something. Since its takeover by a radical-left-wing, militant caucus in 2010, the Chicago Teachers Union has pushed a radical-left agenda through numerous strike actions and controversially aided the mayoral campaign of Brandon Johnson, a former lobbyist for the union, in the city. Just last month, the union allegedly used school time to rally students to vote for a tax hike ballot measure supported by the union and now-Mayor Johnson.

This will include the final outcome of Amendment 1, the proposed amendment to the Illinois Constitution.  Here's what Amendment 1 does: Prevent commonsense, good-government reforms to use taxpayer dollars more efficiently – and potentially overturn more than 350 existing Illinois laws, including those that protect children. Grant government union bosses more power than those in any other state, by far. Lock in higher taxes and debt in Illinois, including an estimated $4 billion total property tax hike on businesses, homeowners, farmers and more Worsen Illinois' reputation as one of the most unfriendly states in the nation for small businesses. Keep more families out of school by allowing for collective bargaining negotiations and strikes over a new, broad set of terms such as affordable housing. Matt Paprocki, president and CEO of the Illinois Policy Institute, provided the following statement:"The State Board of Elections is the ultimate authority on this issue. Right now, the amendment is getting just over 50% of total voters in a low turnout year, despite opponents spending $16 million.” 17:56 SEG 2 28:51 SEG 3 Mark HarderSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Parents of America, it's happened again.
