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.”
With thousands of illegals all clamoring to work, this situation will get much worse before it gets better.
Keep voting democratic this will continue
Of course! Being poor in IL sucks. You live in cockroach infested apartment buildings in areas with high crime and you pay through the nose in taxes.
Unless.. you sit at home all days partying and someone else pays for your rental, food, utilities and the kids you don’t really care about’s schooling. IL is a righteous place to be for the welfare crowd!
