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.”
LOVE Wirepoints!!!!!
Keep up the great work folks. Sending you money!
CTU is the photo child of why states (other then Illinois of course) are seriously considering vouchers.
Threaten a Labor action? What are they going to do? Stay home and not teach?
Teachers play an important role in propaganda and brainwashing of young minds for obedience/loyalty to government. Without them, how would your kid learn to hate himself for being a white male? Who would teach him that the US government is moral and just even though it locks up more people than any other country (including China)? Who would we get to avoid teaching countless atrocities like operation northwoods, where the US government was ready to murder innocent citizens in false flag/fake terrorist attacks on US cities and blame it on Cuba to get the American people to back a war… Read more »
well said sir!!!
I believe one of the top Wirepoint recommendations for fixing the state has been to reign in the power of the public unions. Obviously, that’s not gonna happen. Those of you stubbornly remain in Illinois are living in a dream world if you think Wirepoints or anyone else can stop the escalating disaster. Haven’t you figured that out yet?
The woke progressives will come after your state too. They have already started turning red states purple. It is an illusion to believe that any place in the US is a safe haven from them.
The only answer is to defeat them, not run from them.
Prozac, the battle for Illinois is over. Liberalism/socialism won. If you want to defeat them, go to those purple states and fight them there.
As radio host Jesse Kelly says, there’s only one choice: move to a red state and make it redder.
Otherwise you’re just going to get steamrolled.
Yep. WA to WY next year.
Plenty of RED STATES still. Make them REDDER!
LessonLearned, we don’t expect to stop it. As we often repeat, it will happen, but we hope to have solutions on the table for after things crash, and we hope to have properly chronicled what’s happening.
NEW ILLINOIS is one of the solutions. If nothing else they are doing a great job at making options available for thought for “the Illinois” that comes crashing down.

Join us at New Illinois.
Not stubborn. Some of us have invested millions in businesses and employ a lot of folks.
We want to leave but can’t. Stuck here for now. Lusting to leave.
Some of us are like the prophet Jonah, we want to run but God is telling us to remain and be Salt and Light. It’s our cross to bear.
