Chicago Teachers Union is facing criticism for involving Chicago Public Schools students in political activities during school hours. Students were taken to events supporting various causes like gun violence remedies, free healthcare, investment in low-income areas, and support for Palestine. The union's actions have sparked debate about the appropriateness of using students for political purposes.

The exploitation of students for political aims is reprehensible. @CTULocal1's actions strip children of their right to develop independent thought and political opinions, leveraging their vulnerability, inexperience and trust for political gain.

This is incredible. Chicago Public School teachers are brainwashing these students and dragging them out of class to vote for their pet causes. This should be a huge scandal. (But we all know it won’t be). The CTU is truly disgusting. There is not a single redeeming quality… https://t.co/5CoSx82Dmh
It is unacceptable that Northwestern University academic departments and student groups have continued to glorify Hamas' attacks, with one department even characterizing Hamas as a “political group.” When universities allow this type of behavior to go unpunished, violent…

A perfect example of why Chicago residents need school choice. @CTULocal1 continues to groom students for anti-Israel activism, c/o taxpayers. Despite the Trib’s best efforts, it’s clear Kalli’s comments are about the Hamas propaganda on social media. https://t.co/Owz6AizpXX

When you have different policies for Jews and non-Jews, @MIT, that's antisemitism. MIT told Jewish alumni it wouldn't host Dennis Ross because he's a "politician." But MIT is hosting Hamas apologist @DMogahed, who has also worked in the White House. https://t.co/ZzCq4X1xcs
From @WSJopinion: Chicago high school students may not be reading at grade level, but the Chicago Teachers Union is making sure they know how to vote like union members https://t.co/pBT6beojPH
