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.

The roll that Jesse Jackson has played in the current state that Chicago finds itself in, can’t be understated.
Biden’s Open Borders immigration policy is a disaster for US citizen and legal resident low-income and working class folks of all ethnic backgrounds. Anyone open-minded enough to consider the dynamics of federal-state programs which affect working-class people, existing social welfare programs directed towards low-income working class and welfare-recipients, would readily acknowledge this.
Not surprised Jackson is getting on the POC politico bandwagon regarding Biden policy of free-for-all inbound migration.

Employment levels of POC are adversely affected by illegal immigration. Took the Pocket Rocket this long to figure.
Tens of millions of illegal immigrants are never more than a neighborhood or two away from a Black neighborhood. They tend to spread into lower income neighborhoods first.
And I have heard that Blacks and Hispanics don’t like each other. It could be a problem.
