‘You’re a Rat’ & ‘You’re Full of S**t’: This Is What the Chicago Teachers Union’s Monday March Looked Like

Nov. 14, 2012 12:39pm Becket Adams

Don’t be confused by the headline. Yes, the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) paraded in the streets on Veteran’s Day. But it was not to honor our nation’s veterans (it just happened to be on the same day). It was to protest the city’s rumored plans to close dozens of schools.

So, in honor of their little march, Jeremy Segal (of “Rebel Pundit” fame) in conjunction with EAGnews.org, the “flagship website” of the Education Action Group Foundation, Inc., a Michigan-based education reform group, decided to interview a few of the protesters.

What Segal found was less-than-welcoming. In fact, what he found was a torrent of obscenities and anger:

“Ironically, all Chicago Public Schools were closed that day. While the union forgot to bring flags to honor America, they did have plenty of socialist, communists and other radicals in the ranks,” the video’s YouTube description reads.

To be fair, you do hear Segal at one point respond to the insult that he hates “all workers” by asking if one protester hates “all Americans.”

Warning! Video contains coarse language not be suitable for younger viewers:

You know, maybe we should excuse the protesters’ of their less-than-polite behavior. After all, they’re doing it for the children (or something).

UPDATE: There was an NBC affiliate on site to document the CTU protest. Segal, who regularly blogs for Breitbart, asked NBC 5’s Charlie Wojciechowski if his crew was interested in questioning Jesse Sharkey, VP of the union, over his recent participation in the International Socialist Organization Midwest Marxism Conference at Northwestern University.

“I’m working,” Wojcieckowski responded. “We are doing something here… We are covering a protest.”

Segal followed up by asking Wojcieckowski if he was covering the protest, or covering it up.

Wojciechowski replied: “If Breitbart was a legitimate organization, I would talk to you, but it’s not, Breitbart is full of sh**.”

Coarse language warning:

Segal writes:

Wojciechowski went on apparently, to cover up who the leaders of the protest were and filed a report of which the protest leaders approved. While I did see and film Wojciechowski interviewing Mr. Sharkey, that interview does not appear in the story Wojciechowski filed, and remains unclear whether or not he ever asked Sharkey about his involvement with the Marxist organization.

A representative for NBC 5 did not immediately respond to TheBlaze’s request for comment.

  Close. Yes, they’ll be the first to go, but it won’t be initiated by themselves, or the right-wing contingent. Look up “Night Of The Long Knives” on the net and you’ll see what I’m referring to.

I wonder how many parents understand that these people are demanding “they” pay for their raise, retirement and healthcare when the majority of parents nowadays are working 2 or more jobs or doing without vacations while watching their property taxes and other taxes rise to pay for their children to be indoctrinated into the communist party!

  exactly right. the problem is of course, they are educating the children in their idiocy. this is exactly the reasn why obama won the youth vote. these are the “indoctrinaters” of your children. in chicago the average teachers pay is about $70k, plus state benefits. during an economic mess they want more money? the public sector should not be allowed unions, whose job is to obtain more tax dollars for the state workers. remember this when you send your children off to school.

  Okay so the average Chicago teacher earns $103,000 per year including benefits. Lets bump that up to $200,000 per year. That pushes them all into Obama’s rich category and then, apply the Chicago mileage tax, the Cook county tax, the Illinois state tax, the Obama Cadillac health care penalty, the Chicago school, property, sales, etc tax and boom, there you are $45,000 a year including benefits. Rahm should propose this to them :) the tax collected can be turned over to their students who will require years of financial support IF they ever graduate.

Mathematically, taxing the rich and giving to the poor would transfer more wealth from liberals to conservatives. On average, liberals make 6% more than conservatives.

Mathematically, abortions reduce the ratio of blacks to whites and Latinos to whites. Abortion would increase the white population by percentage.

Liberals and minorities do not know it, but their own policies actually disfavor themselves.

Faux FOX News? FOX lies? RushLimbaugh lies? uh-uh, Obama lied and you bought it. Obama said the Bush debt was unconstitutional and he would cut it in half. YOU voted for that. Obama LIED: he doubled the debt. Obama said he’d save or create 4 million jobs. YOU voted for that. Obama LIED: total employment is 1% LESS now than when he took office. Obama said everyone must pay their fair share. YOU voted for that. Obama LIED: 60% LESS people pay income taxes and entitlements are UP 40% more now than in Clinton’s term of office. Obama LIES fooled a lot of people, too many, and bought a lot of votes… except those who listened to FOX and were warned.

  Obama has created the least amount of debt since Eisenhower and Bush exploded the deficit with a congress that paid for nothing and two useless wars that I fought in. You people listen to fools like this and keep voting for Bush and Romney against people trying to bring social change and some responsibly to gov. Do you know how many people in congress own companies or stakes in companies that give themselves government contracts?

This is what happen when a school district is in major debt and wind up given teacher huge pay raises. The most likely cut is going to be jobs and buildings. oh by the way this is liberal doing this not conservatives. Also interesting is how everything is coming out after the election. first the schools, now in Ohio they are cutting food stamp by $50 dollar a month and everything else that is going on.

Private or homeschooling is not an option both consist of paying for it and toss in the time issue with homeschooling, they just won’t have it. I’m waiting for it, I’m expecting it on the news tonight!
