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.”
Amazing the writer of this article does not ask any questions of whatever the source of the information. The public health agencies divide the covid cases by units of 100,000 county people? The highest populated counties have the lowest rate, yet a much higher infected population. Those with a virus can cross county and state lines infecting others. Are covid admissions those tested upon entering a hospital, having a positive test result? Those with covid symptoms entering the hospital? The article does come from NBC, explains why no questioning or further research.
