At Chicago Teachers Union meeting, Palestinian war dominates, and boasting about Illinois being first state to roll back school choice – Second City Teacher

The delegates voted overwhelmingly in support of a letter demanding a Ceasefire in Israel’s assault on Gaza. VP Jackson Potter said in his report that Illinois is on the verge to be the first state in the nation to beat back vouchers. The Invest in Kids Illinois voucher scheme is set to sunset at the end of the year and Potter believes they have the votes to make sure it disappears.

A room full of thieves, criminals, grifters and terrorists. Not a single teacher there. I can not imagine how horrifically disgusting that room must have smelled. Look into nearly any Illinois crime and you can find a CTU member near the core.

Israel in return has killed 3,648 children by bombing Palestinians in return, one delegate pointed out.

This delegate is so far gone that not only are they accepting Hamas numbers, but exact numbers. Not 3,600, not 3,650…3,648.

Great reporting on whats discussed in a CTU House Of Delegates meeting. The laundry list of CTU subjects covered includes every pseudo-socialist lib topics from killing Invest In Kids to teaching indigenous peoples history in place of Skyline and every $collective bargaining$ victory on the taxpayers dime…..and of course ZERO time devoted to abysmal reading & math scores. What else would one expect from are $equity hustle pseudo-socialist$ CTU heroes?
Second City Teacher/Vail inadvertently always does a great job giving incite into the self-serve world of $CTU$ on the taxpayers dime.

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.

Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about a new law passed by the Democratic supermajority and signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker that results in brazen election interference, keeping Republicans off ballots; about a referendum that tests the waters for a renewed progressive income tax hike; about how the Parental Notification referendum question was knocked off the ballot; and why laws like that pass so easily.

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.”
