Mark Gruenberg at People’s World reports Teachers in the Chicago Schools and the Nation’s two big Teachers’ Unions acting jointly in California are hatching plans to protect their students, and specifically their undocumented students, from Donald Trump-ordered raids on schools.  The danger is especially acute in Chicago, where anti-migrant, anti-Hispanic hardliner Thomas Homan delivered a direct threat in the Windy City in the first week of December.  Homan, whom Trump named as a “Border Czar,” ordered Chicago’s Public Schools to “negotiate” about deportations - or else.  Countering him, plans to protect migrant students in Chicago are advancing there, both in direct action by the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU)/American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Local 1 and in bargaining with the Chicago Public Schools Board of Education, Union President Stacy Davis Gates said.  Meantime, the Union is starting a three-part “Sanctuary Training Series” on how to protect the kids from Federal raiders.  The first session will be on December 19th, entitled “Understanding the Immigration Landscape Under Trump in 2025.”  The others will be on January 9th and February 13th.
