Chicago Teachers union vows to change political landscape after schools vote

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

The historic vote on Wednesday to shutter 50 schools has served as a rallying point for the Chicago Teachers Union as its president vows to field a challenger against Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s 2015 re-election. But while nine aldermen showed up at the Chicago Board of Education meeting to criticize the school closings, just one referred to Emanuel at all. CTU President Karen Lewis said redemption for Wednesday’s vote could come only at the ballot box. “Clearly, we have to change the political landscape in the city,” Lewis said. “We have to go back to old-style democracy.” The union announced that it’s hosting the first in a series of training sessions Thursday for volunteers to register 100,000 new voters.

No word yet on when the liberal media will start doing stories on whether the Democrat party coalition can survive.
