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.

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.

Many of the critics will work there alongside their children.
Good jobs in the middle of nowhere are hard to come by.
For the $8 billion subsidy for the plant, they could have just given a million bucks to every household in Manteno and had plenty to spare.
Mark are you a democrat?
They just did, but now they have to work for it. Over the life of the plant millions and millions will be paid out in the form of wages.
Chitty investment for sure, but better than the Viet Nam war or Iraq war. Or even worse giving money to the CPS.
