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.”
Idiots think it is a general election. I had a (now former) Facebook friend say “vote them out June 28” (in regards to the Dobbs case).
Errr, it’s Illinois and they all agree with you on abortion.
She must have been a Capitol Fax subscriber.
To those remaining non liberal voters of Illinois, prepare to be disappointed again in November, and this time take the hint you aren’t wanted and get out.
Ain’t this the truth, just as the housing bubble deflates too. Sell your house here, take a loss, but make up the difference with a much cheaper house in a red state.
Abortion rights is not a vote changer. Any rabid pro-choice voter already votes every election cycle and votes Democrat.
But wouldn’t it be loverly if the cowed and silent majority was sufficiently outraged by the expansion of outlaw sanctuaries for the undocumented and the arson-inclined that it’d finally had enough and decided to overturn the enablers?
