— Angry teachers challenge Rauner to ‘read-off’ after email flap – Angie Stewart and Jacob Wittich
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/angry-teachers-challenge-rauner-to-read-off-after-email-flap/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: CTU Staff Coordinator Jackson Potter called the governor’s statements “inflammatory” and “Trump-like.” “Governor Rauner, we are teachers and we are not illiterate,” Potter said during the confrontation. “We are going to read you a few examples of the ways in which you burned education, destroyed this great state.” The demonstrators attacked Rauner’s position in the top 1 percent, his support of Charter school expansion and his spending on public services, referring to information from a document called “The People’s Agenda.”)
