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.”
Cry ‘wolf’ too often and see watch your credibility fade away.
The fear porn we’ve been fed for two years has grown thin. Knock it off and accept that COVID may just be endemic … like the flu.
My fear is that if a particularly virulent strain emerges no one will listen.
Fine job, JB, fine job.
As soon as JB gets done milking the abortion cow, he’ll be back to riding the Covid dragon. Funny how someone as obviously unhealthy as Jabba feels compelled to tell everyone in the state what needs to be done for their health.
