For almost two weeks, a teacher's strike is crippled to schools in Chicago.

The Chicago Tribune editorial board complains that over 300,000 children have been locked out of classrooms because the union wants to show their new progressive mayor, Laurie Lightweight, who is the boss.

A teacher's union is demanding billions in spending on top of the eight billion dollar education budget.

Mayor Lightweight says the city just doesn't have the money.

Meanwhile, the children are suffering.

Aside from missing weeks of class and liberal indoctrination, student athletes have been hit pretty hard.

Rules say that they cannot compete if school's not in session.

Many of them have already missed important competitions that could have led to scholarships.

Now those opportunities are not going to come back.

So for a bunch of low income Chicago students, their college dreams may be over.

Chicago teachers union vice president Stacy Davis Gates admitted that there is nothing we'll be able to say to any student

athlete to make it better.

It sucks.

She said.

The Chicago Tribune editorial board really furious.

They slammed the union for taking an unreasonable position in the strike and for such a lame apology to the affected kids.

It's really unusual for the media to attack unions folks, but this time the teachers crossed the line.

It's so obvious that they're all about themselves and not for the children that even fellow liberals can't defend them.

Never thought I'd see this day.
