Like the old saying goes. Those that can, do. and those that can't, teach.

Hopping in here to post a quick one.
My neighbor just called it quits after 20-something years as a teacher. Pre-retirement goal.
She couldn't take all the BS anymore, . . . district, union, fellow teachers, parents, the whole bit. Done.
Didn't get too deep with her about it all because it's going to be rough for them financially.
Pretty much just said she couldn't get away from all the woke BS, and said, "I didn't sign up for all this Bullshit".
They have 2 girls, both in private school.
Pretty gnarly.

Socialism hasn’t always been mainstream. It started off as radical: too hot to touch. So in 2010, radical new leadership of the Chicago Teachers Union started slowly.

“Convincing our members to wear a red T-shirt on Friday was a task,” said Brandon Johnson, who on April 4 became mayor-elect in Chicago. He was speaking at the Socialism 2013 conference about his push to normalize radical progressive politics among rank-and-file Chicago teachers. “Took us a year to convince [Chicago Teachers Union] members that it’s OK to associate yourself with labor. The baby Socialists would just wear the buttons, right? You gotta start them off gently. And so eventually, they started putting on red T-shirts.”

Those red shirts flooded the city of Chicago in 2012, as teachers union members packed city trains, crowded city streets, and abandoned city schools during one of the most militant and contentious teacher strikes in the city’s history.

The red shirts have become a constant symbol of CTU’s growing power. Since the 2012 strike, CTU has only grown stronger under the watchful eyes of uber-progressive leaders such as Karen Lewis, Jackson Potter, Jesse Sharkey, and current CTU president Stacey Davis Gates.
