What’s the goal here?
Watch this video of Karen Lewis, president of the Chicago Teachers Union, joking about an older generation of labor leaders ready to kill the rich people. At one point she says, “it was off with their heads” – and a few people laugh.
Now watch this presentation – making the case that it’s the unions that are bankrupting our cities, towns, counties and states. The big villain here? A teacher.
What do you think of Karen Lewis’ tactics? Law enforcement associations and unions are making a big effort to keep it positive when speaking in public, writing op-ed pieces, producing television and radio ads. Do you think that approach works better? If not, why not. Leave your comments below.
