Chicago Teachers Union president claims Southern Illinois takes more than it makesThe Chicago Teachers Union exerts power not only over the city of Chicago, but also statewide. The Chicago Teachers Union’s political agenda doesn’t only impact what happens within city limits, with it now claiming Southern Illinois school districts get too much money. Now they’ve made it clear where they think that money should come from: Southern Illinois schools. A recent post on X by CTU Vice President Jackson Potter, retweeted by CTU President Stacy Davis Gates, clearly shows animosity toward school districts in Southern Illinois. With the union now targeting school districts in Southern Illinois in its quest for cash, those districts should be worried and watching.
