Details emerging about Chicago Teachers Union’s upcoming contract show just how divorced its demands, both extreme and expensive, are from the reality at Chicago schools. It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.

Gov. JB Pritzker calls it “ethics” reform.
It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
Whenever the price of gas starts to drift lower there’s always an excuse to drive them back up. Sometimes it’s geopolitical unrest, that’s always a good one. Then there’s the offshore storms that might just destroy a drilling platform or two. Oh mercy me! And last, but not least, we have the old standby of unscheduled maintenance at a nearby refinery! Oh boy, that’s pure gold isn’t it. Some guy clogged a toilet in the restroom and the whole refinery is shut down. In a few months we’ll get the “summer blend” excuse. It never ends.
Same old bullshit year after year.
Power outage? How convenient. Just put the plug into the outlet and your good to go.
The more people pregnant the more abortions.
