Chicago Teachers Union Honors Cop Killer...

The Chicago Teachers Union isn’t just a labor group anymore. It has become an ideological machine — injecting Marxist thought, radical race narratives, and anti-American sentiment into the bloodstream of public education.

Assata Shakur - Cop Killer

When a Teachers Union Honors a Cop Killer, It’s Time to Pull the Fire Alarm

While working parents across Chicago were getting ready for another school week — checking backpacks, signing permission slips, and praying their kids come home safe — the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) decided to honor a convicted cop killer and fugitive terrorist on their official social media.

Their post reads like something straight out of a Marxist student handbook:

“Rest in Power, Rest in Peace, Assata Shakur.
Today we honor the life and legacy of a revolutionary fighter…”

Let’s pause right there.

Assata Shakur — born Joanne Chesimard — is not a misunderstood poet or noble activist. She is a convicted murderer, a domestic terrorist, and a fugitive from justice who fled to Communist Cuba to avoid her life sentence for the execution-style murder of a New Jersey State Trooper in 1973.

Let’s be blunt:

CTU is glorifying a terrorist who murdered a cop at point-blank range.

This isn’t about race. This isn’t about justice.
It’s about radical ideology hiding in the classroom — and now it’s proudly out in the open.

📚 Why This Matters

The Chicago Teachers Union isn’t just a labor group anymore.
It has become an ideological machine — injecting Marxist thought, radical race narratives, and anti-American sentiment into the bloodstream of public education.

When a union celebrates someone on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist list, you can no longer dismiss this as harmless activism. You are seeing the indoctrination pipeline in full effect:

From college classrooms → to teacher training → to union propaganda → to your child’s classroom.

This is the same CTU that:

Advocated for “abolishing the police”
Opposed school resource officers (the only protection many inner-city students have)
Went on politically motivated strikes, using children as bargaining chips
Supported anti-Israel propaganda and racialized curriculum mandates

And now… they revere a domestic terrorist who murdered a cop.

🧠 What Are Kids Learning?

In a world where Johnny can’t read, but can recite the activist quote of the day, something’s gone horribly wrong.

CTU’s post glorifies Assata Shakur’s words:

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom... We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

A borrowed line from Karl Marx and Angela Davis — and now the anthem of a public school teachers union.

What are our children being taught?

That violent revolution is noble?
That law enforcement is evil?
That the American system must be overthrown?

This isn’t education.
This is indoctrination — plain and simple.

🔥 The Bottom Line

The Chicago Teachers Union just tore the mask off.

They didn’t quietly endorse a political view.
They publicly praised a convicted murderer — one who belonged to a violent revolutionary group that sought to overthrow the U.S. government and replace it with a Marxist regime.

If you ever needed proof that radical ideology has replaced education, this is it.

So here’s the question for every parent, taxpayer, and citizen who still believes in the Republic:
