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.
The rally should be a bout the elimination of Thornton Township, not taking it back. Taxpayers in most states are not taxed to support township government because they do not have them. Also, Illinois has 17 counties that do not have township government to support. Township government was established in the 1800s for farmers. This was years before city / village governments. Thornton Township now has17 municipal governments! How many farms are in Thornton Township???
