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.

IL Democrats middle of the night passed laws are a mockery of democracy
Illinois Republicans need to figure out how to change the way we do business.
Illinois Democrats have whipped Illinois Republicans like a red headed stepchild.
Darren Bailey? Really?
I’d like to read what DeWitte has to say about that.
Harping on about stuff Dem’s can be relied on to do because no one in power in Springfield has to care about what DeWitte thinks doesn’t interest me so much.
LOL, the constitution is merely a piece of paper to be disregarded by tyrants who want to violate your god given rights.
Oh, you must be referring to The Donald’s thought that the constitution should be “suspended” at times. Thanks for that thoughtful reminder.
Both sides of the aisle seem content to ignore the constitution if it behooves “their side”.
Actually, no the ‘both sides’ argument doesn’t apply here. The Democrats get overturned far, far more often than Republicans when it comes to constitutionality of laws. It’s not even close.
Do you have a report that outlines your assertion or is it based on your feelings? Even if your assertion is correct, the only thing it would prove is that republicans disregard the constitution less than democrats. Not exactly a stellar endorsement of supporting the constitution. So actually, the “both sides” argument does apply here.
Sources, sources!
You made a claim but provided zero facts. Surely you have something that leads you to your conclusion other than your feelings. You’re stealing a liberal strategy right out of their playbook. You are consistently wrong in so many comments here that it’s hard to believe it’s by accident.
!
So you lied and made it up. Thanks for clarifying.
As usual, you have nothing to offer.
So now you’re making ME do your research for you, eh?
