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.

BIG Issue nobody is reporting:
Abbott Labs baby formula plant disaster, overseen by FDA, lays waste to nonsense claims that “only USA-produced pharmaceutical products” are “safe” enough for US consumers…thus excusing the US Government-Enforced monopoly and monosomy on pharma-product manufacture/distribution/price-fixing.
Why aren’t consumer-groups, conservative voters, and any American in a human body who may now or in the future need to buy a drug SCREAMING at Federal Government to allow US citizens to purchase IDENTICAL drugs at prices often 90% LOWER in other countries????
This writer attempts to set the facts on deaths between covid and legionaries diseases, not to mention who might be to blame. What a shameful disrespect for the people and the families of those who have passed. Let me say the Lack of Leadership governor JB was in charge during these deaths (no matter what the cause), 35,000 covid deaths, murders and shootings from violence, drug overdose and poison deaths, under his watch! What has JB done and what is the point of this article?
The point of the article? To cover for Pritzker’s mismanagement on all levels. Typical NPR/WBEZ “reporting.”
