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.”
If IL was serious, they would just make college tuition for free for residents. But our politicians wouldn’t be able to help themselves, and they would open it up to illegal immigrants and not require SAT/ACT or even grades to attend. The value of the school would plummet to zero as the tuition goes to zero and it would destroy the entire Illinois state university system.
Jesus, another thing they can divert money from and steal from the children.
The kids will only be able to spend it at state indoctrination centers.
