“CPS teacher Roxanne Piersanti calls out the Tribune Editorial Board’s recent criticism of teacher absences, pointing out how it unfairly targets working mothers and ignores the realities of caregiving, illness, and the physical toll of teaching,” CTU posted on their X account.
“Have they considered how often educators — especially the 75% of whom are women — are on the front lines of both their classrooms and their families? Does the Trib think workers don’t deserve sick days, FMLA and parental leave? Educators don’t just teach; they sacrifice, care, and persevere. It’s time for the Tribune to reflect the facts,” the CTU wrote.
The union also highlighted Piersanti’s remark aimed at the Tribune’s editorial board.
“The editorial feels very one-sided and absolutely misogynistic. Do better,” Piersanti wrote in an article criticizing the Tribune.
