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.
I saw the 5pm local newscast on Fox last night, and Corey McPherrin actually said that costs would be coming down soon because of the suspension of the grocery tax and gasoline tax. It was so misleading and just plain wrong. Obviously the newsreaders, and that’s all they really are, have no clue what is actually happening. Or it’s intentional. Hopefully people will realize their bills aren’t going down and vote accordingly.
