Prominent Chicago Preacher Declares War on Teachers Union

He's the preacher of the largest congregation in the state of Illinois. He's also a state Senator in the Illinois legislature on the Democratic side of the isle. The Rev. James Meeks actually said this:

"Chicago Public Schools have a gang problem. The gang, however, is not the BDs (Black Disciples), the gang is not the GDs (Gangster Disciples), the gang is not the Vice Lords and the gang is not the Four Corner Hustlers. The gang is the Chicago Teachers Union."

You'll want to read this entire Chicago Tribune editorial. Just a reminder, Meeks is close friends with President Obama.
