YEAR END AWARDS
THE HYPOCRISY OF THE YEAR AWARD goes to some American corporations and millionaires who have decided they know what’s best for improving our inner city schools. They virtually ignored the problems of our inner city schools for 150 years, but now they are suddenly interested. What they are really interested in is destroying teacher unions and dismantling public education as we know it. Now that teachers make a decent wage and benefits, these corporations and millionaires have seen their property taxes rise dramatically, and they want an end to it.
THE ABUSE OF FAIR JOURNALISM AWARD goes to the Chicago Tribune newspaper. I thought big time newspapers were supposed to make some effort to be fair and balanced on different issues. I’ve never seen such an obsession as the one the Tribune has for bashing teachers, teacher unions, and teacher pensions. Rarely a day went by without an article or editorial bashing teacher unions.
THE OUTSTANDING TEACHERS’ UNION OF THE YEAR AWARD goes to the Chicago Teachers’ Union. While
