With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
If it’s this easy to ignore a contract, why pay their salaries or pensions? Take a lesson from Trump and blockade them … A.k.a.lock them out. Malicious destruction of futures. Tortious interference with constitutional right to K-12 education. Creation of future reparation entitlement. Torture of working moms.
If nothing else, Chicago is a joke … as depicted elsewhere on this news feed. Laugh when crying is not an option.
Breach of contract should be grounds for cancellation.
May 1 should be recognized as Victims of Communism Day. Communism has resulted in way more deaths than any other ideology and everyone needs to take a moment to learn about the atrocities. Ilya Somin makes a compelling argument for this here: https://reason.com/volokh/2025/05/01/victims-of-communism-day-2025/

They all need to be fired and let’s start over. Maybe the kids would stand a chance. The teacher’s union is the most selfish union of them all. Kids are at the bottom of the scores and these idiots want more time off.
Teachers of Chicago going full communist.
Well, we don’t think you have to hide it anymore, either.
Plus they want to be PAID and the students get an EXCUSED ABSENCE!! CTU is a political organization . It is not a TEACHING UNION of students. Look at the dismal results from them.
Correct. It is a union for TEACHERS. Not sure why anyone would think otherwise.
how about on Mayday or the day after we get every parent of a cps student to call up the school their child goes to and inquire about the process to start home schooling for next year ! do you think if a large number of parents call in it might rattle them a little?
I do not know why they bothered to ask. They are going to do it anyways, like it or not.
There will be no school on May 1, regardless of what the school board, the school board president, the mayor, or anyone thinks. The CTU wants the day off and they will take the day off. Who’s going to stop them?
Spoken like a true pinko commie.
Or is it just a realistic assessment of what will happen on 5/1?
I meant it as a realistic assessment of what will happen, because teaching reading and math are not their priorities-spreading their political views is.
If I was a parent of a CPS student I would be going bat shit crazy over the lack of schooling and/ or the type of learning my kid was getting. If there was a voucher system the parents would have a proper oversight of their kids education. It’s time for vouchers NOW
