Chicago teachers union wants a fall deal with student vaccination targets, housing help – Chalkbeat Chicago

The union’s fall reopening proposal also asks for more mental health positions funded from the central office, a 10% boost in special education and arts teachers, and a rent assistance program for families experiencing housing instability.

If we’re going to basically mandate that kids get the jab (on the tax-payer dime), then I propose that we mandate all pregnant teenage girls carry their babies to term (on the tax-payer dime).

Maybe they could focus on developing their teachers… Average ACT of 18… The least of their problems should be students…

The CTU excels at only one thing… Extortion. And, the people who roll over and accede, or those who pick up the signs for them, are too obtuse to even understand.
