Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board cited Wirepoints’ analysis of Chicago student proficiency data in their latest piece condemning the Chicago Teachers Union’s outrageous contract demands…all while a vast majority of Chicago’s children graduate unable to read at grade level.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about the details of Gov.

The SAFE-T Act, which abolishes cash bail in Illinois, is a woke and stupid law that endangers everyone as it puts dangerous and violent criminals on the streets.
It advocates soft on crime policies under the ridiculous guise of racial equity which is absurd.
I don’t want the legal system in Illinois to pursue the woke notion of racial equity. I want the legal system in Illinois to be fair to law abiding citizens and victims of crime by being tough on crime.
The SAFE-T Act only benefits criminals.
Fun days ahead as we sit back and watch what happens.
Have plenty of popcorn, stay home inside and watch the situation unwind for the liberal voters that elected the leaders…it is a show not to miss
Remember this when the mayhem explodes in 2023:
“Pritzker has frequently stated he believes cash bail must end in favor of a system that prioritizes an accused person’s risk of reoffending or fleeing prosecution, and the SAFE-T act does so.”
Notice that the safety of crime victims is never mentioned, it’s all about coddling criminals.
