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.
I didn’t prove this statistically, but it seems the more a state mismanages its taxpayer revenues, the more fiscal cliffs it experiences. Hence, Illinois’ new slogan: “Land of Fiscal Cliffs.” I went kind and gentle, leaving out words like “corruption,” “greed,” and “poor financial management skills.”
