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.”
Renaming is more woke nonsense.
Viewing history through a contemporary lens unfairly tarnishes historic accomplishments.
Rewriting history is a fool’s game.
Rewriting brings about Year Zero.
I’m actually a bird fan myself. Did you know that Dodos are abundant in Chicago?
Didn’t know you’re a birder. You should download the Merlin Bird App on your phone. It’s a free app from Cornell that identifies birds by their calls, don’t even need a connection to the internet because it downloads the samples. Game changing app, there’s nothing else really like it.
Yes, it’s fun! Merlin is an amazing tool for this casual birder.
