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.
I pass three completely or partially torn down office buildings on my commute, and half a dozen or more nearly vacant ones.
“Bombed-out buildings,” as one oldster said as we drove through East St. Louis years ago.
I liked the view of trees growing in the middle of abandoned ESL homes.
