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.
There’s really irony here – marijuana tax revenue supporting communities impacted by drug wars.
If it weren’t so sad, it would be laughable.
East St Louis and Chicago land will be the big winners in this one.
148 programs? I think I know what one of the problems is. And I hope someone will be monitoring the effectiveness of this $45 million “investment” in these communities. I’m willing to wager no one will be able to point to any positive outcome a year from now.
