Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board cited Wirepoints’ analysis of Chicago student proficiency data in their latest piece condemning the Chicago Teachers Union’s outrageous contract demands…all while a vast majority of Chicago’s children graduate unable to read at grade level.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about the details of Gov. Pritzker’s proposed $52 billion budget, why the state is struggling now that federal covid dollars have run out, the controversy surrounding Tier 2 government pensions, why Illinois’ expensive education system fails to teach children to read, the outrageous demands of the Chicago Teachers Union, and more.
LOVE Wirepoints!!!!!
Keep up the great work folks. Sending you money!
CTU is the photo child of why states (other then Illinois of course) are seriously considering vouchers.
Threaten a Labor action? What are they going to do? Stay home and not teach?
Teachers play an important role in propaganda and brainwashing of young minds for obedience/loyalty to government. Without them, how would your kid learn to hate himself for being a white male? Who would teach him that the US government is moral and just even though it locks up more people than any other country (including China)? Who would we get to avoid teaching countless atrocities like operation northwoods, where the US government was ready to murder innocent citizens in false flag/fake terrorist attacks on US cities and blame it on Cuba to get the American people to back a war… Read more »
well said sir!!!
I believe one of the top Wirepoint recommendations for fixing the state has been to reign in the power of the public unions. Obviously, that’s not gonna happen. Those of you stubbornly remain in Illinois are living in a dream world if you think Wirepoints or anyone else can stop the escalating disaster. Haven’t you figured that out yet?
The woke progressives will come after your state too. They have already started turning red states purple. It is an illusion to believe that any place in the US is a safe haven from them.
The only answer is to defeat them, not run from them.
Prozac, the battle for Illinois is over. Liberalism/socialism won. If you want to defeat them, go to those purple states and fight them there.
As radio host Jesse Kelly says, there’s only one choice: move to a red state and make it redder.
Otherwise you’re just going to get steamrolled.
Yep. WA to WY next year.
Plenty of RED STATES still. Make them REDDER!
LessonLearned, we don’t expect to stop it. As we often repeat, it will happen, but we hope to have solutions on the table for after things crash, and we hope to have properly chronicled what’s happening.
NEW ILLINOIS is one of the solutions. If nothing else they are doing a great job at making options available for thought for “the Illinois” that comes crashing down.

Join us at New Illinois.
Not stubborn. Some of us have invested millions in businesses and employ a lot of folks.
We want to leave but can’t. Stuck here for now. Lusting to leave.
Some of us are like the prophet Jonah, we want to run but God is telling us to remain and be Salt and Light. It’s our cross to bear.
