This is the same Karen Lewis:
This is hardly the first time Lewis, top union representative for one of the largest public-school systems in America, has made some controversial comments. At a 2011 union conference, she boasted having “spent [her college] years smoking lots of weed,” derided education secretary Arne Duncan for having a “lisp,” accused the Chicago Tribune of running a racist caricature of her, and explained how her husband, an “old-school brotha” often expresses a desire to “beat up” union opponents, but “can’t go to jail” because she’s “too fat to go” join him there.
