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.”
Again, liberals fail at the process of contemplating second order impacts of their hopey-wishey view of the world…. Which would be fine if they were playing in a sandbox, but they’re not…. Their infantile view of the world has real consequences and, at some point, they need to be held accountable for their stupidity. When will the left-center folks realize most of the nonsense their elected officials support lacks a basis in reality?
This is more than a question of inconvenience – elderly or sickly people can die in a heat wave if the power lets out. Pritzker is playing with peoples lives for politics, again!!!
Transition to nuclear was ried once in Illinois. Google the Clinton County power plant
A “transition to renewable”? How stupid. Nuclear energy is the only solution but the left is too dumb to understand the problem.
Just remember to blame the anti fossil fuel gang, including JB and Sean Casten when your air conditioning goes out during the summer. We have lots to thank those two for, like violent crime, record inflation, ridiculously high gas prices….you get the picture. Two terrible individuals that need to go.
They know the reduction in fossil fuels usage will result in untold deaths. They see your death as…well…necessary to further their goals.
