    For the teachers

    By Eric Allen Yankee


    You sing for the children
    when no one else will.
    You cry for the wounded young
    when no one else will.
    You are the parents of ideas
    when others tell the children,
    Your ideas dont matter.
    You help your students cross the street
    when others push them
    in front of the corporate bus.
    Your Union colors are on our hearts.
    Your Union songs raise our freedom.
    Get up!
    Get down!
    Chicago is a Union town!
