The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) recently shared an embarrassing post on its social media accounts.
A flyer, meant to encourage people to contact the state’s governor, JB Pritzker (D), demanding that the ‘ultra-wealthy’ pay their ‘fair share’ to fund the failing school system, contained a glaring misspelling.
The flyer, shared to CTU’s X, Facebook, and TikTok, referred to “Governer” Pritzker.
School choice advocate Corey DeAngelis shared the flyer on X, and CTU quickly deleted all evidence of the error.

DeAngelis told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement, “If the union can’t handle simple spelling on a flyer, imagine the oversight in their classrooms.”
He called the spelling mistake “Beyond parody.”
“No wonder so many kids in Chicago can’t read.”
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, a recent report from the CPS Office of Inspector General detailed $23.6 million in improper or wasteful travel spending.
In November, CTU was put on notice after failing to complete financial audits to show how union members’ money has been spent over the past five years.
The House Education and Workforce Committee sent a letter to CTU President Stacy Davis Gates, noting the union has failed to provide members with complete financial audits since 2020, in violation of their own policy.
In 2024, the union demanded an additional $50 billion in taxpayer funds, which included a 9% wage hike, fully paid abortions for its members, new migrant services and facilities, and a myriad of LGBT-related requirements.
A recent Illinois State Board of Education report card is dreadful.
In 30 schools in Illinois, not a single student can read at grade level, 22 of which are in the City of Chicago.
