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.”
That Democrats don’t think that they, as Democrats, don’t play a hand in the mess that Democrats created, just shows how it’s the party of unstable people…and then some.
I love it how Pritzker got a spot so quickly and points blame at Johnson. Dirty! I think Johnson should sue Illinois to get to the bottom of things and Pritzker should sue back. LOL
Out of all the closed schools they couldn’t find one or two that would be a better option than a tent? Did they do any quick review of the closed schools? I’m guessing CTU doesn’t like the idea of using a closed school, they want them reopened so they could “educate” twelve kids at a school designed for a thousand. Brandon’s situation is only going to get worse if he keeps doing what CTU tells him. That being said I don’t think tax dollars should be used on these people.
I’m loving this! Where are all the out of state guys claiming we’ll never make progress?
Let’s go, Brandon. Out the door that is.
Why not all of them?
It’s nice when they eat their own.
More, please!
