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.
Kankakee is in terrible shape. Drove through the downtown a month ago and was shocked at how shabby it is. Pensions are in near collapse– especially the Fire and Police. Property taxes are driving out all the businesses. Heartbreaking to see what has happened in a town that was really pretty nice only twenty years ago.
