The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) mourned the death of a convicted murderer on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists list in an X post Friday.

“Rest in Power, Rest in Peace, Assata Shakur,” the CTU’s post read. “Today we honor the life and legacy of a revolutionary fighter, a fierce writer, a revered elder of Black liberation, and a leader of freedom whose spirit continues to live in our struggle.”

The post added, “Assata refused to be silenced. She taught us that ‘It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.'”

The CTU has a history of taking controversial stances and issuing strongly worded statements. The union has voiced its opposition to increased Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity, as well as the Trump administration’s deployment of National Guard troops to U.S. cities.

Earlier this month, the CTU participated in a boycott of Target. The union said the retailer rolled back “its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion” and was complicit “with white supremacy.”

“As President Davis Gates reminds us: this retreat by Target sends a dangerous signal to those who seek to erase the dignity and safety of our students, families, and classrooms,” CTU wrote in a post on X.

In June, while delivering a speech at the City Club of Chicago, CTU President Stacy Davis Gates said the union “thinks your children are its children.”

When speaking to Fox News Digital, DeAngelis urged “rational educators who just want to do their job” to “stop giving union bosses like Stacy Davis Gates their hard-earned paychecks by opting out.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the CTU for comment on Saturday but did not immediately hear back.
