The rhetoric [Cristina Pacione-Zayas] employs mirrors that of the mayor himself .... "Our current systems and structures were designed to privilege particular populations and their proximity to whiteness,” she said in an interview with Crain's, explaining how an “anti-racist framework” applies to politics.... Echoing the language that swept Johnson into office, Pacione-Zayas contends Chicagoans can’t reside in a scarcity mindset: There’s enough for everyone. 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.”
“There’s enough for everyone” – spoken like a true socialist.
Mayor’s Office is a collection of aggrieved folks seeking “social justice” by imposing another version of simplistic bigotry, blatant racism, and overt prejudice.
Not every white person has experienced “white privilege”, Ms Pacione-Zayas. Most white people have not experienced “silver spoon” advantages; she speaks from ignorance and intends to impose her version of self-entitlement.
Mayor and his minions need to meet blue-collar white people, an ethnic group which still does exist in Chicago, and white first-generation college-graduates, of which there are many residing in Chicago as well.
Wow! What a bitter angry person. She must have been taught from a very young age that she is a victim, victim, victim. Chief of staff to the mayor of (what used to be) one of the greatest cities in the world? How far we have sunk. Lord help this city if this is the head case making day-to-day decisions on so many policy issues. This appointment should scare the daylights out of anyone with a three digit IQ who is left in Chicago.
I can’t repeat enough, these people all live in a world of fantasy and make-believe. They’ve constructed an alternate (progressive) reality upon which they try to impose upon the real reality. With disastrous consequences. The flat out gobility-gook that “Our current systems and structures were designed to privilege particular populations and their proximity to whiteness” is just another version of the magic dirt theory. The dirt where white people live has magical properties that gives them wealth and mostly intact families and happiness and privilege. The farther away they live from white people, they less privilege they have. Yes, she’s… Read more »
All these progressive wackos have the same thing going. Here’s another know nothing with three names that wants to take everyone else’s money and give it to her perpetually unemployed friends. Pound sand sister.
Cristina wants to rule over a wasteland. She will get her wish.
A translation is necessary for her “there’s enough for everyone”. She means that there’s enough for her and her fellow insiders, and you poor slobs who are outsiders, no matter your color or victim group, might get some crumbs. See every communist country for how this will play out.
WOW, CPZ sums up what the entire CTU/Brandon admin fake progressive equity hustle schtick is all about—$$”redistributing resources”$$. Watch as “new machine”, majority white, upper-income CTU $$cleans-up$$ while low income Black folks get peanuts. And chump taxpayers take it up the rear as usual…….all while apparently CPZ has ZERO concerns about Chicago phantasmagorical $billions$ in debt?
Hoo, boy. She’s a piece of work. Progressive extremism at its purest.
