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.”
Pritzker Blames ‘Ghost’ Guns For The Crime Crisis Created By Democrats’ Soft On Crime Policies
A new law to fight not the majority of the gun related (gang related) crime in the state. JB the Hutt goes after gun hobbyists instead. Another useless, do-nothing law from our useless, do-nothing state legislature, signed by our utterly feckless governor, and will be ignored by the completely worthless Kim Foxx.
These people must go, or the state resident taxpayers will.
Federal laws permits individuals to build firearms for personal use. After zip guns, the most easily constructed firearms out of scrap metal are submachine guns. These homemade arms
are a big problem for the police in Brazil and Ireland. Illinois has many home and small industrial machine shops and ammo can be purchased without D in adjacent states. Gun
control by government edict is dead!
