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.”
Perhaps we can take all of Chicago’s politicians on a tour of this wreck…and leave them there.
I had no idea that there even was a “Michigan Shipwreck Research Association,” nor that they have a film festival. Thanks to WBBM 780 for posting this, and to Wirepoints for relaying it.
The Discovery channel show Expedition Unknown with Josh Gates has featured them once or twice. Extremely fascinating stuff:

See, climate change was happening in 1886, with wildfires in Wisconsin raging out of control.
