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.

It is sad that some people, for some reason, can’t put two and two together and see the the corruption taking place right in front of their eyes. This is it – they aren’t even hiding it now… If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck it is probably a….moose. Wake up people.
In Illinois it is not about corruption but rather its the unions and the free stuff army that head to the polls on election day and the one that promises the most freebies wins. Karl Marx for example could get elected here if he promised enough food stamps and blamed all the problems on MAGA extremists.
Don’t disagree with you note…but ya know…there is plenty of corruption in Illinois as well as Biden, Fat Man and the rest.
