Chicago students face 2nd day of lockout as talks fail to produce agreement

While parents faced another day of figuring out how to care for their children without school, thousands of teachers in red T-shirts flooded the Loop Monday afternoon to show solidarity for the strike, filling streets and stopping traffic.
