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.”
Take a look at license plates from Texas or Indiana. They are made from a durable plastic(?) or a composite material that doesnt rust, fade, peel or fall apart. Illinois, metal rust bucket plates made by some politicians relative.
Plus it will be easier on the carjackers and car thieves to only remove the one plate after taking your sweet ride to the chop shop.
Yeah, that’s a real reason to require a front plate. If you are truly an ex Illini, the school has obviously lowered its admission requirements.
