Summary
The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) hosted a two-day conference featuring socialist, anti-war, and pro-Palestinian activists. The conference included workshops on protest tactics, fundraising, and coalition building. Critics argue that the event reflects priorities far removed from the classroom. The conference resolutions called for ending US aid to Israel and supporting Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaigns. CTU Vice President Jackson Potter and the union’s governing caucus follow Anti-War Committee Chicago on Instagram.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The conference rooms were named after political figures and activists, including Fidel Castro and Nicolás Maduro. Speakers addressed attendees from behind a podium draped in a Palestinian flag. The program included representatives of the US Palestinian Community Network and the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. Conference resolutions called for ending US aid to Israel and supporting BDS campaigns. The event reflects a familiar blend of activism and education.
It’s a political agenda that’s very extreme, and the classroom is not the priority.
