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.”

The thing I’ve learned about leftists, is that they just don’t care. They have no shame. and they really just don’t care what you think.
My child is going to a school protected by several armed guards. Shut up send your child to a gang infested school where I demanded no police or armed guards be allowed. Shut up and leave me alone.
She has the money to do so. Why do the south side residents have no good choices?
Thank you, CPS, and the CTU.
These people are really professional comedian quality jokesters. You don’t want your own kid to attend that crummy public school that the CTU (which is you) basically runs. They just don’t care how ridiculous and phony they look because there are no negative consequences to their intellectually bankrupt and disastrous policies. So how about all those kids that don’t have the money to go to the Catholic school? To heck with them– they will just have to suffer at the CTU cesspool.
Does anybody still buy into that somehow CPS is “disinvested” in the black community @ $30gs a student?? If anything, it CTUs majority white membership making astronomical salaries & benefits that don’t live in b&b communities that are the “disinvesters”.
I wonder what this Catholic school was doing while the CTU was on strike to prevent CPS students from returning to their classrooms?
How does choosing a catholic school for your kid fit in with a radical sudo-socialist?
Heads they win. Tails you lose.
The ChiCAHgo way!
“It was a very difficult decision for us because there is not a lot to offer Black youth who are entering high school” in Chicago, Davis Gates said. Yeah, thanks for making the case for school choice, Stacy! And she sure knew where to go for a sympathetic interview on this — the pathetic WBEZ.
Fake News Fraud Shit-Bag WBEZ is the best argument for defunding NPR.
They tried to frame it as a right-wing attack. I was really surprised that over at the left-wing crap fax a lot of commenters said it looked really bad and that she should resign.
Exactly. That’s WBEZ.
