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.”

I said a few weeks ago this is what would happen. Many county jails around the state are going to become very, very crowded, as prosecutors and judges many defendants are denied bail as being a threat to public safety.
There will be 5 or 6 counties statewide that will fully implement the new catch and release law. The usual ones in the state that always vote democrat with Cook County leading the parade. The other counties who realize that criminals are criminals and not racism that causes crime will be holding those charged with serious offenses to the chagrin of the democratic state caucus who will demand they comply.
