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.

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.”
I hear that a nice looking mansion on Astor St (minus all toilets) can accommodate a lot of Section 8 people. A Porto Potty will be provided in the back yard. Apply soon to get the best bedroom suite.

No sympathy for anyone that does business in Illinois. It’s a choice to subject yourself to this abuse.
“One requirement under the Section 8 contract is a provision that a landlord’s business records must be open and available for inspection at all times.” If you are a landlord/business owner do you think it’s good for a bureaucrat to have access to this information?
