Reform Caucus of CTU Takes Lead
Labor Beat produced video of last Wednesday's Renaissance 2010 protest. In the video, Substance News Publisher George Schmidt explains how the the Caucus of Rank and File Educators (CORE) has pushed the Chicago Teachers Union in its recent actions against the Renaissance 2010 program. Apparently, the group has lit a fire under the "sleeping giant" that is the Chicago Teachers Union, as described by co-founder Jackson Potter*.
