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.”
Gee, and to think I always had to pay my rent or mortgage…..what’s wrong with me? Even lived in several dumps in East Lansing during my college days. Where can get some help?
once again, who qualifies for $9,000 rent assistance? Only Venezuelan asylum seekers, like pending work permit program? only RRM participants (5.5 mil nationally)? anyone who walks into a CPD police station and claims asylum? any of the 100’s of thousands of chicagoan undocumented migrants (majority Mexican) already here? Where or when are advocates for US homeless going to start filing lawsuits demanding equal treatment?…..There are no rules, there is no legal framework…the JB/Brandon migrant clown show train-wreak goes on…what an F-ing joke!!
That is the cost of a tent bought from a democratic business.
