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.

D0es anyone listen to JB anymore?? LOL
Uncle Joe just said if fully vaccinated then we can remove our mask. Are the Dem’s wires crossed?
Ummm, no. Go do yourself, Lumpy.
I wear a face diaper only where required, I wear it any way I want. As I walk in the door on it goes, then since I wear glasses I stumble around foggy glasses and all, bumping into things with my hands out feeling my way.

If this is follow the science, it must be the movie Weird Science

Settle down, every online news source has a few idiots in the comments section.

I’ll pass – as have many others already – at least in Southern Illinois.
