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.”
Even a rudimentary review of “special event” revenues and hotel tax revenues in the past makes it clear the collections from those sources will never get anywhere near what these amateur public officials are hoping for. That budget will blow up six months into the fiscal year, if not sooner.
These clowns might as well be shilling for “Sunny and Carefree Beach Holidays in the Paradise of Gaza”, lol…
Keep betting, guess what you come out a loser.
