Photos: Ever-Changing Protest Sign Hoisted By Charter Teacher
Chicago teachers can't seem to make up their mind as to what exactly they're striking over -- wages, evaluations, air conditioning, respect?
So too, 10th grade math teacher / protester Mike Konkoleski (pictured) can't seem make up his mind whether he thinks Mayor Emanuel likes one awful rock band -- Nickleback -- or another -- Creed.
It's Wednesday -- who knows what Konkoleski (or CTU) will come up with next. Emanuel supporters shouldn't take too much pleasure in the apparent confusion of issues and bands, however. Emanuel's most viral mocker apparently teaches at CICS-Longwood, a non-union charter school. Ouch. City Hall told reporters Emanuel doesn't like Nickleback. [Cross-posted from D299]
Just to clarify, this guy does not work at CICS-Longwood. He does, in fact, work for a CPS school.

I'm good friends with this gentleman, he does NOT work at a charter school. He used to work at one of Rahm's charters, but jumped ship and is now a happy teacher at Solorio HS on the south side of Chicago.

Ooh, that’s fun. Might I suggest Three Days Grace? Linkin Park? Limp Bizkit? Green Day? Post-Lee Roth Van Halen?
