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.”
Nothing like a gift from Uncle Sam and record breaking inflation to fill the state coffers. Once we’re in full blown recession and the US House is safely in Republican hands JB is going to be whining like the silver spoon trust fund baby that he is.
JB the Hutt is ecstatic. By employing the same method that his trust fund gets replenished, more commonly referred to as a Federal Bailout, there are a couple of pennies to rub together in the slush fu…er ‘rainy day fund’. JB knows nothing about business or finance, dooming Illinois to more fiscally suicidal spending.
