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.”
As the saying goes “Duckworth is as useless as tits on a bull”. Let’s hope the voters realize this.
Kirk’s stroke really had an affect on his ability to campaign. Also, Hillary (being from IL) was on the ballot in 2016 and all the short haired suburban harpies with “I’m With Her” bumper stickers showed up to vote straight ticket D.
Kathleen Salvi needs to present herself better than she did in the debates a few weeks ago. Would have preferred Matt Dubiel. Presented himself much better and speaks the truth. Ms. Salvi is what we are stuck with, so I hope that she gets a spine and can command some presence going up against the Saul Alinsky dirty Democrats.
Voted for Matt, myself. I’d rather Hubbard had won over this gal. She seems Kinzingerish.
No thanks.
Do you prefer Duckworth to Salvi?
We too preferred Dubiel, but we definitely won’t be voting for Duckworth. She and Dickie Durban must go.
