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.”
Here’s Kevin!
So if you just put in “Kevin” that’s the voters intent? What if they are hungry and put in Kevin Bacon or spell it wrong like Kelvin or Kevlar? What about Agent K from Men in Black? Soon just leaving it blank will also count the vote to Kevin.
How about filling in the oval and writing “ None of the above incompetents”? Let’s see who ( or what) slithers into office then.
