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.

In retrospect, what happened to these neighborhoods with the mass migration from the south is similar to what is happening today with Latin America migrating in the United States. Their showing up in neighborhoods with no means, into communities ill-equiped financially and emotionally to handle the massive social problems, and social disruptions caused by the mass migration, with not enough housing or resources to go around for everyone, and then violence breaks out and people move.
