  • Open Letter from Educators

    Open Letter from Educators

    Open Letter from Educators Dear CEO Easterbrook, As teachers, school support staff, principals, school nurses, and advocates dedicated to the education and well-being of children, we urge you to end the exploitative practice of McTeacher’s Nights. On McTeacher’s Nights, teachers “work” at a local McDonald’s in hopes of raising much-needed funds for their schools. Parents and children are encouraged to eat at McDonald’s so they can see “their very own educators serve up hamburgers, fries and shakes.”1 It is wrong to enlist teachers to sell kids on a brand like McDonald’s whose core products are burgers, fries, and soda. Marketing junk food to children is a harmful practice. We are in the midst of the largest preventable health crisis in the U.S.—one that is spreading throughout the world, and that increasingly affects children. If this trend is not reversed, many children will be burdened with diet-related diseases like obesity and Type 2 diabetes, affecting their heath for life. Health professionals on the front lines of treating these diseases have long urged you to stop targeting children. The World Health Organization and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend restrictions on junk food marketing to children.2, 3 Study after study from esteemed organizations such as the Institute of Medicine and the National Bureau of Economic Research suggest that junk food marketing targeted at kids is a serious health concern.4, 5 McTeacher’s Nights undermine these important efforts, exploiting educators’ authority and popularity to lure kids to McDonald’s. Transforming teachers into McDonald’s marketers is 1 “In Your Community: McTeacher’s Night,” McDonald’s Educates, http://www.mcdonaldseducates.com/mcedu.html (accessed March 11, 2015).

    WE WILL NOT STRIKE: THE BLACK REVOLT IN THE CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION by CHARLES GRAND Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON December 2015 Copyright © by Charles Grand 2015 All Rights Reserved ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This study could not have happened without the support and patience of my thesis advisor Dr. W. Marvin Dulaney. Likewise, Drs. Sarah Rose and Kenyon Zimmer were generous with their time and encouragement, agreeing to sit on a defense committee that ended up spilling months over into a busy semester. My apologies to all those involved. Equally crucial to this project was the love and support I received from friends, family, and my partner Courtney, who above all has always challenged me to keep larger questions and dynamics in mind. Her patience with me cannot be overstated. I must also thank Deborah A. Pope of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) for arranging the interviews I conducted. Her assistance, as well as that of former classroom teachers George Schmidt, Cathaline Carter, and Howard Heathe, is deeply appreciated. In addition, I would like to express my support and admiration for the CTU’s Caucus of Rank-and-File Educators (CORE). I have found its five years in power to be a welcome change in regards to how labor leaderships respond to union busting (charterization in the case of public school teachers). CORE’s leaders have been fiercely vocal about Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s anti-labor and anti-public school agenda.
