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.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
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.

“…half the babies…” born in Illinois received WIC?
And no one sees a problem with THAT?
Dependence on government is being a chronic disease in Illinois.
It’s been that way for a long time now. Nearly half of all kids in IL schools get free lunch too. Over half of all students in IL are also minorities.
We are, as a state, through our abortion and sanctuary policies, creating a permanent underclass of forever low income and poorly educated BIPOC, who will forever vote Democrat, as they wait for handouts from the rest of us.
Sometimes I wonder if the Democratic plan is to starve babies if Roe is overturned and they can’t kill them in the womb. Naaaa, that’s toooo evil, right?
So this is what leadership looks like? I agree with the other comments. I’ve been in third world countries. Families go through this very thing, waiting for the government to solve problems and they never do. They keep there citizens on the government string never knowing what the next crisis will be. Our family has twins coming soon
Import the third world, become the third world.
Governor Toilets is diverting baby formula to illegal alien anchor babies. What else do you expect from an amoral piece of shit fraud, who wants Illinois residents to kill their own babies in the womb.
Pritzker never has a solution to any issue. He just makes every issue a race issue. How about you worry about every baby JB? Lately it is one crisis after another with Dementia Joe and his cabinet, which he selected based on attributes other than their qualifications to do the job.
None of the Democrat failures on supply chain, inflation, energy, the border, crime, etc. are by accident. Democrats are INTENTIONALLY remaking America into a Marxist failure like Venezuela.
So if you’re a baby from a lower middle class family, scraping by without government assistance, too bad, you can go hungry. What kind of solution is this? Maybe Americans should go through the southern border and get some formula. Why aren’t we putting ALL AMERICAN babies first.
