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.
Thankless job. Like being a leader of the Capitalist Party in China.
The Chicago GOP is the equivalent of the south’s lost cause. Of note, the northwest side GOP marched in my town’s parade last year. It was a nice addition. This year they were replaced by the local Action group, a gaggle of pink hatted wearing harpies.
