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.

That Democrats don’t think that they, as Democrats, don’t play a hand in the mess that Democrats created, just shows how it’s the party of unstable people…and then some.
I love it how Pritzker got a spot so quickly and points blame at Johnson. Dirty! I think Johnson should sue Illinois to get to the bottom of things and Pritzker should sue back. LOL
Out of all the closed schools they couldn’t find one or two that would be a better option than a tent? Did they do any quick review of the closed schools? I’m guessing CTU doesn’t like the idea of using a closed school, they want them reopened so they could “educate” twelve kids at a school designed for a thousand. Brandon’s situation is only going to get worse if he keeps doing what CTU tells him. That being said I don’t think tax dollars should be used on these people.
I’m loving this! Where are all the out of state guys claiming we’ll never make progress?
Let’s go, Brandon. Out the door that is.
Why not all of them?
It’s nice when they eat their own.
More, please!
