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.”
The prices have been rising ever since the Biden/Harris shut down the pipelines, and made it so no investor will take the chance to drill. We will not see pre-Biden gas prices until his boot is taken off the neck of America’s oil companies, which will happen once he is removed from office. Why are we applauding the signs of gas dropping to just over $4 when it could AND SHOULD be under $3. The left wants us to be thankful that it’s dropping by pennies, wow, how is that 4% raise working for you with 9% inflation??
