Nothing new here, this bonehead has nothing else to say…its always discrimination, equity and the rest of that BS that is distracting this country from the real problems. Hell, he’s from Chicago…of course its discrimination. The major problem is corruption at the highest levels of this government and this country is being invaded and for the life of me…there are people who do not see it happening…look at the numbers of people crossing into our country unchecked.

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.

Chicago needs more champions of literacy like Willie Wilson – Wirepoints

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.”
