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.”

She’s White, that’s all there is to it.

I feel no sympathy for anyone who recommended public places be closed to unvaccinated people in January and February 2022. She did a horrible job, made awful public health decisions, and ultimately her recommendations destroyed downtown Chicago.
Very professional of CTU/Brandon firing Arwady with no replacement? I believe I heard on news one of Brandons replacement candidates, Eric Reinhart, qualifications didn’t check out..(he’s not actually a doctor). But Brandon gets to quote Tupac and that’s what’s important
