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.
Sure wish ole man Daley was here…..this bs would be over with!!
Ask the grandmother of the American citizen who is Hamas prisoner, taped in last week’s Hamas media release. He’s a native Californian, parents from Chicago area, in his early 20s, and had his hand and forearm shot-off during Oct 7 Hamas terrorist attack. Naive college students, uninformed in world history, easily manipulated by social media posts and their equally uninformed friends, joining protests without fully understanding that their progressive lifestyle choices would cause them significant hardship and prosecution in Gaza, in Iran, and other Moslem countries. And the non-citizen Palestinian-American and Moslem protesters, well they can actually leave America, if… Read more »
Yes, intersectionality there’s a hierarchy of the oppressed, and the white male Israeli is at the bottom of that list. So the progressive sodomite believes he’s among company with the Palestinian because ‘the enemy of my enemy (straight cis white men) is my friend’. That’s why it leads to absurdities like them joining protests against their own self-interest.
But here’s the thing: these people are stupid, and none of it has to make sense. And none of it makes any sense. Because it’s stupid people doing stupid things.
Is calling for a ceasefire wrong?
Reasonable people differ on that, and it depends on the terms of the ceasefire. But the controversy has been about those among the protesters who are saying far more controversial things, and are often outright antisemitic.
IDK. One one side there is a wealthy, first world liberal democracy; and on the other, are a bunch of consanguineous terrorists who breed like rabbits and have the avowed goal of eradicating their wealthy, first world liberal democratic neighbors. I have no dog in this fight but maybe Israel should be from the River to the Sea and the Palestinian diaspora can move into Egypt or Jordan and in a generation or two maybe all of this will be forgotten.
Why on God’s green earth do these “demonstrators” have the right to block traffic and “occupy” property they don’t own?
This is just step one in a coordinated effort to destroy our country.
I hope I’m wrong, but I think worse is yet to come.
At one point, there were many Christian Arabs in the Middle East. They were exiled or eliminated by the same gruesome tactics these Muslim zealots are using on the Jewish population. This is a religious war. Can you imagine what a country with vision could have made out of the ocean beach front property. The “Palestinians” don’t want prosperity, they want a religious caliphate.
And the useful idiots in America see this religious war as a race-marxism conflict….Israel is white = bad; and Palestinians are non-white and oppressed by whites so = good. It’s the stupidest lens through which people see the world, and most of the people who side with the consanguineous terrorists are too freakin’ stupid to even understand the absurdity of their ridiculous worldview.
Their protest would be much more impactful if their cause wasn’t the extermination of all Jews. Now they’re just angry because the Jews are better at waging war than they are. Protest all you want, but stay the hell out of the way.
This says it all
