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.”
Claudine Gay and Clarence Thomas appear to have benefited from affirmative action. Dick Cheney got into Yale because, in 1959, there was a movement for geographical diversity. Cheney partied with the football team and flunked out. Prez. Gay and Prof./Sen. Liz presumably leveraged their ancestors’ minority status to grab their brass (gold?) rings. LBJ and JFK apparently rigged votes in Texas. Ronald Reagan was a union organizer and Dick Nixon played Joe McCarthy to beat Helen Douglas in 1950 and parlayed that to VP and President. Who thinks Pritzker belongs in Springfield or D.C.? Diogenes’ search continues.
