By Lauren ChooljianGood morning!
Welcome to this edition of the Morning Drive Podcast! In this episode, teachers are still striking, district officials are still disappointed, and parents are on the fence.
But first, some news:
►Undercover FBI agents arrested an 18-year-old American man who tried to detonate what he believed was a car bomb outside a downtown Chicago bar, federal prosecutors said Saturday.
►Mayor Rahm Emanuel is planning to take legal action to force teachers back into the classroom immediately. The decision comes a couple of hours after the governing body of the Chicago Teachers Union, its House of Delegates, voted to continue its strike. The delegates plan to meet again Tuesday and could vote to end he strike then, putting kids back in school on Wednesday.
