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.

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.”
Nice to see these backwaters aren’t blowing the windfall on frivolous vote buying. They’re deeply involved in due diligence. Some Green bootlicker will propose putting hitching posts on all major streets; encouraging use of horses and donkeys for transportation. Free parking.
How much Covid money is still waiting to be spent? As it flows into the economy you can count on high inflation numbers to continue. Despite what idiot Janet Yellen says, the government money printing press created this problem. And while we’re at it, why does she look exactly like a chicken?
