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.”
Does this racist law only protect black people hair? Or does it protect mohawks, mullets & rat-tails too? how ’bout dat?
Now we have a law about hairstyles. What’s next? Toenail colors?
Length of eye lashes and fingernails is next. With the length of some fingernails when she tries to type an M she gets and 8 or 9 or even F7. That’s how the budget is balanced-Long Fingernails.
I’d laugh if it weren’t likely to be accurate.
One time when called for jury duty the woman handing out stipend checks had nails that extended no less than 3″ off the tips of her fingers. Seeing her pick up checks was worth the time spent waiting to be called into court.
Her dismissive attitude was also notable – either she hated her job and those of use who were collecting a pittance for being there and transportation or she was having a simply horrible day; I wasn’t going to ask.
