Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board cited Wirepoints’ analysis of Chicago student proficiency data in their latest piece condemning the Chicago Teachers Union’s outrageous contract demands…all while a vast majority of Chicago’s children graduate unable to read at grade level.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about the details of Gov. Pritzker’s proposed $52 billion budget, why the state is struggling now that federal covid dollars have run out, the controversy surrounding Tier 2 government pensions, why Illinois’ expensive education system fails to teach children to read, the outrageous demands of the Chicago Teachers Union, and more.

No, what is weird is feeling a need to wear something on your face that is not natural.
Its long past time to mask shame others
Weird? Really?
How nice not to breathe in bacteria and have more health issues as a result of breathing thru something that never was a deterrent.
What’s weird is a Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine psychologist saying, “It’s going to be weird or uncomfortable for people to get rid of something they’ve been wearing for the last two years.”
That belongs in the Onion not the Chicago Tribune.
Elation is a better word.
Like the elementary kids cheering when the teacher said no more masks.
I mandate politicians keep their masks on FOREVER!
It’ll be weird only if you make it weird.
Weird, not a chance I ditched the mask a long time ago.
No issues here – I stopped wearing a mask nearly a month ago. I’ve only been challenged in one store. To avoid a scene, I donned the mask I was carrying in my pocket.
My motivation was not to make a scene, it was to breathe easier and avoid eyeglass fog.
