What we found

Supports. Borysenko's own post, quoted by several outlets, says she "infiltrated and recorded a call hosted by the Chicago Teachers Union" and released the full unedited recording.[1][4][5]

Context. The source spells the name "Karlyn Borysenko" while the claim says "Karlin Borisenko"; the sources identify one person with the same role, so this is treated as a spelling variant.[1][7][8]
