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.”
Tyrants like Pritzker fear the first amendment.
Like everything else, the communists, lacking any real external enemy, instead focus their ire against their internal political enemies, and use every tool at their disposal to punish dissents. They aren’t scared of you or the first amendment. They just want to hurt you, and imprison you, because they don’t like you, and they grow tired of hearing you speak. They have nothing to fear, because they have all the power already. They just want to use their power to hurt you. It’s like this in every communist regime around that has ever existed.
Pritzker answers to no one! If someone dares to challenge one of his edicts he shall be smited! The great and mighty Pritzker has spoken!
And nobody will ask. When do reporters ever ask Pritzker a hard question? Never. I think they do a reasonably good job on Brandon Johnson, but Pritzker gets a free pass on everything.
Ask Pritzker a hard question, and watch those bi-annual campaign $$$ bonanza disappear? How much money did JB spend on Salem or Cumulus owned stations these past few election cycles? I’m a talk radio junkie, and I assure you, the answer was $0. He spent $0 on these stations. But he spent an awful lot everywhere else.
