Abstract: The article focuses on the recent contract approved by the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU), which aims to protect public education against political attacks, particularly those from the Trump administration. The contract, supported by 85% of CTU members, includes provisions for academic freedom, protections for undocumented immigrants and LGBTQ+ individuals, reduced class sizes, increased preparation time for teachers, and the addition of hundreds of support staff positions. It also emphasizes the CTU's role in advocating for social justice and community engagement, highlighting their successful strikes and political alliances that have transformed the educational landscape in Chicago. The contract is viewed as a significant step forward in rebuilding public education and preparing for future challenges. [Extracted from the article]
