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.”
Americans rate Chicago as comparatively unsafe and water as comparatively wet.
The classic film “Stripes” shows how Chicago has always been seen as a crime toilet — all over the world

A perfect Presidential campaign poster for JB!
Chicago’s reputation across the country and world is simply awful. It’s also well deserved.
And the laughing stock of half the country. But yet, in an act of defiance, like a child, the DNC decides to host the convention here. “If republicans say it’s bad, then we must do it, no matter what”
My goodness, that’s a lot of carnival barkers. Does the governor know about this?
Carnival barkers and spelunkers for misery.
Honestly, I’m a bit surprised that JB has the word ‘spelunker’ in his vocabulary. He must have paid extra for that in his law school testing preparation classes.
