Chicago teachers union claims Lightfoot locked them out of online classrooms

The Chicago Teachers Union is claiming that Mayor Lori Lightfoot has locked teachers out of virtual classrooms after the union voted to move to remote instruction in defiance of city officials.

In a pair of tweets sent Wednesday morning, the Chicago Teachers Union said that Lightfoot had “started locking Chicago public school teachers and staff out of their Google Classrooms” and added the hashtag “#LoriLockout.”
