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.

I think it’s hilarious that a couple of red state Texans showed up to an aldermanic corruption shakedown with a wire courtesy of the FBI. Texans have never been a people to shy away from a fight and they fight to win. Burke thought being some piddly alderman actually mattered to a multinational Burger King franchisee. It didn’t.
Big fish in a small pond hubris at its finest.
