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.”
Man is she dumb
It’s political theater designed to distract from the mess we’re in.
Ms. Duckworth and Mr. Durbin MUST GO!
Gas stations practically lose money on selling gas, the mini marts make it up. Okay Tammy so if you see a station that is 4 cents higher than the station down the block, they are gouging by your definition? If every station in the state is within .10 cents of each other, who is actually gouging? My point being there is no wide variations, and nobody is gouging. You however have made our money valueless, that will make everything cost more. So basically you are the gouger.
Ad hominem attacks are wrong, but at what point is it okay to declare someone’s lack of intelligence dangerous? She’s simply not that smart…. As long as there’s no collusion, I appreciate the ability to see how companies react…. Those companies that refrain from an unnecessary increase in price will win my business. Those who try to screw me will lose it…. It’s not hard to know…. Well, maybe if you don’t understand adulting – you know, the ability to search the news on the web, etc…. (WSJ, etc…)
If IL was smart enough, it would kick her out of office in Nov. because of this stupid bill alone.
She is doing virtually nothing and then crowing about it! Typical Dem chasing a non existent problem and doing nothing about the root causes of the actual problem.
Tammy Duckworth apparently thinks that stealing talking points from Elizabeth Warren will elevate her national profile. Really bad idea to copy off the class clown.
She has to do something. Her leaning on her disability is wearing thin!
Okay Tammy, all prices are rising not because someone raised them intentionally. Prices are rising because the democrats made our money valueless, by fiat, with money printing. Take an economics class please.
Diesel is being shipped to Europe as a result of Bidens Russian sanction plan.
Biden Cancels Offshore Oil Lease Sales in Gulf Coast, AlaskaRestrict supply and prices will rise.
Thank you Democrats
Wherever there is money there will be stealing. Tammy should simply slouch in her chair to indicate her displeasure. The lower she goes the more displeased she becomes. She’s a true barometer.
She can start with the Illinois gas tax.
How about making laws that being a democrat is a crime
Same old crap different day, another do nothing committee 20 years to late quack quack
Dimwit Duckworth isn’t qualified to run a lemonade stand. Recognize your limitations already. Sit down, shutup and be thankful you live in Illinois, where anybody can become senator apparently.
Please pay property taxes Duckie like the rest of us.
Hack.
I think she gets a no property tax exemption because of her military service e disability. She still a turd.
That is right.
But she earns $174k a year.
Exemptions should be means tested, like other tax credits.
Pay your fair share Duckie,
Leave it to Duckworth to run cover for Clueless Joe shitting the bed on gas price
Price gouging only seems to exist when a Dem is in the White House. Odd.
