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 hearings one every channel smack of the state-run media of North Korea, operating for and at the direction of the ruling class. So many have fled this type of insanity and they can recognize it when they see it. This is what totalitarianism looks like.
It is a credit to the American people that the ratings for this sham were atrocious.
I never thought it possible, but Durbin is right! It is important, for the sake of history, to document that Democrats labeled a small group of protesters as insurrectionists. Then those same Democrats droned on about it for 18 months, trying to convince the American people that this group of ragtag protesters actually intended to overthrow the US government. History will also reflect that while all this was going on, a complicit media allowed an incompetent and incapacitated liberal progressive President to nearly destroy the United States.
Let’s hope ‘nearly’ is accurate. Things are ominous.
