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.”
Is Madigan era over? What a dumb question. It isn’t “Madigan era”. Its the Democrat machine. Madigan just happened to be the most recent corrupt Democrat at the head of the crime syndicate. The criminal enterprise between Democrat politicians and public sector labor unions like AFSCME, SEIU, CTU and IFT is still going strong. Crush the unions and start sending the union memebers to prison alongside their political puppets and then you end the Democrat machine.
I love that response. These insider contributions are warranted because there has never been a black candidate elected from that district. Oh. OK. Sleazeball insider pressure is ok if you are fighting racism? Huh?
Welch says “that area has never elected a Black person or a woman to the bench”.
What he doesn’t mention is that her opponent is also a qualified black woman- Chloe Pederson.
