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.”
Kim Foxx, Cook County state’s attorney, is already ignoring state law regarding the charging of people with crimes they have been arrested for. Citing prosecutorial discretion she can have her staff ignore current and future laws without fear of any consequences. All in the name of restorative justice. Now if you say anything negative y’all racissss and stuff.
This is a nothing burger. He created the very environment he now claims this legislation will address. Seriously, when will the media in this state call out this disaster of a governor?
NEVER! Think of the $100,000,000 in ads about to spent beginning this month, why attract the ire of JB when you can just take that campaign ad money to shut up? And even better, the progressive media shares all of the same values as JB!
