Chicago Teachers Union contract demands are totally divorced from reality – Wirepoints

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.”
Quote of da year!!
“I also recognize that many people in the state of Illinois have lost faith in their government,” Mapes said. “And that breaks my heart.”
Mapes is an absolute idiot. A seventy year old man throwing away 2 and a half years of the few years that remain. All to protect a man that will duck and dodge his way out of prison. Madigan likely has doctors lined up ready to attest he is not well enough to stand trial. At least Madigan isn’t sleeping well, knowing the Feds will pursue him to the end.
Mapes will get da top bunk at Marion once Mikey Madigan is convicted and sentenced.
