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.”
The California recall rightfully happened because Asians organized to make it happen after members of their community were being viciously attacked with no action taken. The States Attorney in that case was a white male. Who is going to organize to oust Kim Foxx? Any group that does will be accused of racism.
Don’t forget misogyny – that’s a hot one these days too.
Not unsurprisingly, Kim Foxx is wildly popular in African-American and hispanic communities.
This should be the marquee issue for IL GOP candidates in the November elections
