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.

SPLC and highly publicly-subsidized colleges have elevated legal sophistry to a highly profitable art, winning millions in Hate Speech litigation and fostering a Kafkaesque framework for determination of what is Hate Speech. I am suggesting that others emulate their successful strategies.
–If only to neutralize some of their power: rulings in favor of free speech will disarm their self-determined (Free Speech when they say it, Hate Speech when You say it) attacks on Free Speech Rights.
I once had a rock collection that had mica.
Practical reaction to Hate Speech (inciting violence) such as this is civil litigation; SPLC uses this to win millions for SPLC admin personal benefit. Illinois among other States have Parental Responsibility Laws which bring civil liability to parents of babies on college campuses. Litigate against parents of coddled free-ride babies attending University, as well as the babies themselves who will have collectible assets now or in the future.

“Dr. Mika Tosca, a climate scientist…”
LOL – like Jesse Kelly says, why do all the various leftwing groups all share the same values? It’s because they are all fingers on the fist of communism: climate nutjobs, anti-israel hatred, BLM, progressives, it’s all the same thing. The ultimate goal is communism, to destroy. It’s all one in the same.
Why the apology? Tosca meant what was said.
Fire her.
Him
Her? Him? Which?
