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.”
This is simply a Pritzker for President talking point. “Pritzker lowered taxes!!!” Like JB at an all-you-can eat buffet, the Pravda MSM will eat it up.
Another Pritzker press release parroting by JB’s favorite parasite. Miller can’t do anything without asking his benefactor Pritzker for permission first.
Pritzker plays budget games – not leadership.
Eliminating Miller is an even more popular proposal.
A penny as in $0.01 on a dollar means I’m moving up the income tree! In a couple of hundred years I’ll be able to buy a loaf of bread with all the savings.
Right. This is much ado about nothing. Meanwhile, we continue to get s*** on with obscenely high PTs due to bloated government and school offices, salaries, pensions, and health care benefits.
A chance for Democrat shill Miller to laud the Governor for being so smart, by acknowledging he played a fast one on taxpayers. The grocery tax is insignificant, and 90% of the people don’t even know about JB’s latest scam. That means 10% of the population know about a 1% tax going away. Bidenomics is costing people 20% more at the grocery store, and people feel that every time they go shopping. Whatever, Miller needed to write a column sucking up to the Governor again. Mission accomplished Richie.
