XIAN BARRETT, CHAMPAIGN NATIVE AND CURRENT MEMBER OF THE CHICAGO TEACHER'S UNION

Xian ( Sean ) will be discussing the ongoing battle of the Chicago Teacher's Union against the non-elected, Mayoral appointed, Chicago School Board, with representatives of corporate special interest groups who are privately profiting from public tax dollars that are intended for the public schools.
The Chicago School Board claims it is broke but they seem to have plenty of money for corporate private charter schools, while closing public schools and attempting to destroy the Chicago Teacher's Union.

Tune-in and hear about this brave and militant Union that is in the front-lines of a battle that if not won, will spread nation-wide and effect us all !
