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.”
Am I missing something? Since when does a $57K income for a family of three qualify you as “low” income. Is the $57K from working? If I’m not mistaken food stamps/child care/housing subsidies/health care/etc the value of which is not factored into income. Only a check from the government or employment is considered income. Please correct me if I’m wrong
When? since the Joe Biden junta stole the election!
