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.”
Could it be any more obvious that Democrats can’t do anything right. Time to send them back to the kiddie table and let the adults fix things.
People should be embarrassed they ever voted Democrat, and repent.
My late uncle once declared he was a ‘yellow dog Democrat.’ I asked what he meant by that and he replied that he’d sooner vote for a yellow dog than a Republican/Libertarian/Independent candidate.
Though he won’t be voting again (he didn’t die in Chicago), I’m confident there are more like him out there.
Hopefully filling up with gas and a trip to the grocery store will wise up voters … even yellow dog Democrats understand the mess the Democrats have wrought on our state/country.
Vote the bums out!
I met a fellow IL resident the other day in a professional setting in the North Shore. She let me know she got the shot four times in the first 30 seconds of meeting her. She wore a mask the entire time in a room with just her and I. She complained about our Democracy being destroyed, and that DeSantis has wrecked FL. She asked me within the first ten minutes if I was a ‘Trumper’ and since I’m a professional in the Chicago area, I said “Of course not, I’m offended you even asked, what’s wrong with you?” But… Read more »
Ignorance is bliss and there are a lot of blissful people in this country.
Totally unprofessional and unsuited to a business meeting.
The mask? When I encounter mask wearers I assume they are unwell and are trying to limit contagion – though masks are close to useless. It’s either that or they bought into the fear porn. And, yes, I realize the latter is more likely.
I would suspect you met my sister-in-law but she lives on the far southwest side of Chicago and isn’t smart enough to get invited to a business event. All these yellow dogs have a common thread, somewhere along the line they are depending on an Illinois government pension plan!
Had a casual conversation with a gentleman in the parking lot of Woodman’s yesterday unloading our groceries and I said did you notice all the elderly in the store. I said that we were led to believe that most would be dead from Covid from the beginning. He was maybe 50’s and said he had covid and complications since the end of 2020. I tried to explain in the few minutes there that if the hospital ever checked his nutrient levels like Vit D and he said I guess,maybe? He thinks he has long haul and I gave him a… Read more »
Did you notice that tax day April 15 is as far as you can get from election day? What if tax day is within a few weeks of an election or property tax payments? Would people vote differently or at least be more careful who they vote for?
