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.”
Like most cameras in use now, they are an investigative tool…
To be accessed after the fact, to try & identify perpetrators…
ISP does not have the manpower to monitor in real time…
HOWEVER…
This being Illinois, will it morph into a cash generating *speeding ticket* (& other traffic offenses) scheme…?
That would be my biggest concern…
What isn’t ripe for abuse in Illinois
I’ve seen this covered on the news lately, and it’s always positioned that this is some kind of miracle cure for the violence we see every day in Chicago. Funny thing is, they never give one example of a case where a highway camera contributed to an arrest or prosecution, despite all the cameras already in place.
