Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board cited Wirepoints’ analysis of Chicago student proficiency data in their latest piece condemning the Chicago Teachers Union’s outrageous contract demands…all while a vast majority of Chicago’s children graduate unable to read at grade level.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about the details of Gov. Pritzker’s proposed $52 billion budget, why the state is struggling now that federal covid dollars have run out, the controversy surrounding Tier 2 government pensions, why Illinois’ expensive education system fails to teach children to read, the outrageous demands of the Chicago Teachers Union, and more.

the science they are following and always have–political science
but are the vax passports staying in place?
It’s another swing and miss by King Pritzker. We’re two years into this pandemic and the people are over it. All around the country they are back to normal, but the King keeps stringing along the hapless residents of his sorry state. He simply won’t do the right thing and relax his executive orders immediately, despite the science telling him to do so. It’s indicative of serious character issues.
In what year?
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find??? People still wearing masks and still getting boosters
In the year 3535
Ain’t gonna need to tell the truth,tell no lies
Everything you think,do,and say
Is in the VACCINE you took today (should be in the year 2020-21-22 and to eternity)
I am now suffering this terrible earworm- but it did make me laugh! My husband and I have a descriptor for this: “Earnest young man with guitar”. Neil Young fit the bill too…
March SOTU by feckless, clueless, and demented Biden – I saved America from Covid!
This walking talking co-morbidity is kicking the can down the road for 3 more weeks in the hope another variant is found.
Don’t wear the mask anywhere, so doesn’t affect me, or anyone else who’ve been ignoring Chubs Pritzker’s suggestions.
But you go, Chubs!
This is hilarious, Porky trying to walk a tightrope above a angry crowd. If he’s so concerned the children, teens and young adults return to remote learning! It was wildly successful before! Will Lori double down? She can’t resist spitting at the citizens.
I thought the mask mandate that was in Executive Order 21-22 that was dated Sept. 7th and was filed with the Secretary of State on Sept. 17th is set to expire on Monday 2/14/22. I thought Executive Order were only good for 150 days from the date it was filed with the Secretary of State. Was there another Executive Order after September 2021 that extended or changed the mask mandate?
Brilliant catch EO 21-22 and here. I wonder what the parents will do when they find out Pritzker filed a Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamation on Feb 4th 2022 and here Whereas…the current circumstances in Illinois surrounding the spread of COVID19 constitute an epidemic emergency under Section 4 of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act… Also, Whereas these conditions provide legal justification under Section 7 of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act for the new issuance of a proclamation of a disaster…. Pritzker is a sneaky lying SOB. Despite the case numbers quickly dropping, he’s proclaimed himself Disaster Governor of the CV19… Read more »
