Chicago Teachers Union president Karen Lewis in her professional role, knows of the severe bullying of children with disabilities. As Mr Duncan has had a distinguished career, to try and bully Mr Duncan because he has a lisp is not acceptable.

From the Chicago teachers Karen Lewis represents, from parents, to the Chicago Public Schools – This Should Not Be Acceptable Behavior.

We at Ability Chicago are calling for Chicago Teachers Union president Karen Lewis to resign, or if necessary be removed. Is this the example for our children to be have before them.

The teachers Karen Lewis represents need to demand her to step down, or take the steps to remove Karen Lewis. The parents need to demand her to step down, or take the steps to remove Karen Lewis. The Chicago Public School System need to demand her to step down, or take the steps to remove Karen Lewis.

SHAME ON YOU KAREN LEWIS
This is not acceptable...
