Lisa Fithian: Teaching Radicalism to Chicago Teachers Union

-By Warner Todd Huston

Violent, union thug comes to Chicago to fake teacher “arrests”

When people ask me, “What do you do?” I say I create crisis, because crisis is that edge where change is possible.
— Lisa Fithian

The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) trained under radical street organizer, and leader of the anti-capitalist #occupy movement, Lisa Fithian, to stage a protest march in Chicago on 10/10/11.

During this event, more than 20+ members of the CTU were arrested.

THE NYT MAGAZINE SAYS THIS ABOUT FITHIAN

“You don’t go to Fithian when you want to carry a placard,” “You go to her when you want to make sure there are enough bolt cutters to go around.”

BYRON YORK WRITES:

“Fithian is a legendary organizer who operates in the world of anti-globalism anarchists, antiwar protesters, and union activists…[SHE] played an important role in the violent shutdown of Seattle during the 1999 World Trade Organization meeting”

My only word for the edu-thugs: homeschooling.
