Guess it's only evil to go after unions if you're republican

It's not really the same battle... the R's in Wisconsin wanted to change the current law to, without going into the intricacies, neuter the unions power.

Rahm just wants the teachers to go back to work because (right from the article):

the strike is illegal because "it is over issues that are deemed by state law to be non-strikable, and it endangers the health and safety of our children."

meaning he feels they aren't compliant with pre-existing laws on the book.

So it's not an apples-to-apples comparison on your commentary / opinion about R's vs. D's...

Regardless, it's an issue that needs addressing and I don't think either side is going to be pleased with the eventual outcome of the Chicago schools situation. I'd bet it'd get fixed a lot sooner if the mayor sent his kids to the public schools, but because their are private options available, he really doesn't have a true "dog" in the fight, other than his reelection bid.
