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.”
And now Hinz has an outright lie up, saying on Twitter that Tucker Carlson is the source of the story. He is not. https://twitter.com/GregHinz/status/1706357919850049646
WHY NOT BUILD A PLANT IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. BUILD AND PUT NUKES IN IT AND BLOW UP A MAJOR CITY. TROJAN HORSE AND THE ART OF WAR
Hinz is the worst of the left wing fake news fraud hacks at Crain’s
Gotion is promising the world right now, having built a plant in Germany, a country in the middle of deindustrialization, Morocco and now in Illinois. Who knows what other plans they have going on and what other promises they are making. I’m truly doubtful this plant ever gets built especially considering how lackluster EV sales are other than Tesla.
CCP may be a red herring.
The real issue is local zoning laws (public safety and emissions permissions) and water-mining rights.
A quick practical action of self-defense available to local citizens is to find instances whereby local government bodies may have violated OMA (Open Meetings Act). Meetings by public bodies are typically required to be notice-posted and public comment allowed. Meetings may be defined as incuding emails or telephone calls.
CCP is a “red herring”? Gotion is directly tied to the CCP and has a joint venture with the Chinese military.
Red Herring (pun intended) meant to indicate that if people want to actually do something constructive in self-defense, they should go see the thing that the bad guys are misdirecting away from. That critical component, the thing (remember Al Capone liable for tax evasion rather than murder?) that the Pritzker-esques are fudging their drawers trying to distract from, is the very real CIVIL RIGHTS of citizens in Manteno Illinois whose elected bodies (zoning, environmental, municipal, TIF, etc.) must comply with Illinois Statutory requirements of OMA. May not prevent Pritzker-esques’ sodomy, but may slow them down a while while they are… Read more »
The OMA issue is one that we want to look at. If anybody knows whether it was violated here please share. It’s important, but, IMO, not as important as other Gotion matters.
It is a practical, do-able self-defense that works when petty burgermeisters are cozened by those who use them as useful idiots to strip-mine local resources from unwitting villagers.. Very simply, any quorum of any public body which conducted clandestine talks (including phone calls and emails and letters, doesn’t need to be face to face in a darkened room) without proper public notice can have such dead-of-the-afternoon agreements clawed back until proper OMA-compliant notices/public hearings are conducted. Possibly, public officials may be recalled if their violations were egregious. Locals may be able to get to next election time and elect Village… Read more »
“burgermiesters”. I love that. I see our big boy guv as the guy from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Only Illinois would be shitty, shitty, bang bust.
Crain’s has devoted almost entire paper to EV articles?, all of which attempt to paint a very rosy picture of Gotion plant in JBs Illinois and avoid issues of why so few EV plants are opening in northern blue union states
There is NOTHING rosey about EV. It’s a Rich Man’s toy and never for the masses. We cannot charge up all these cars now nor in the future as we destroy our coal fired electrical generation plants.
