Woman in orange: (I still don’t see why we couldn’t have polka music.)

Comment by Streator Curmudgeon Tuesday, May 16, 23 @ 10:59 am
@ Streator Curmudgeon — just as an FYI, the woman in orange is Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers. Dan Montgomery, president of the Illinois Federation of Teachers, is to her right.

“Weingarten Rights” to representation for public employees in disciplinary procedures exist because of her. She probably did want polka music.

Is the CPS still spending more than $20k per pupil?
