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.”
I hope everyone realizes that Pritzker never meet with or consulted with Welch, Harmon or anyone in the general assembly he did this on his own with a back room deal. Jennie Ives had the Edgar county watch dogs on radio Saturday.
Fed up, I was not aware of that. What’s the source that I missed saying that?
Mark,
Its was this past Sunday’s radio show, Jennie was asking the Edgar watch dog questions about the plant and it was stated that there was no input or consultation on Pritzker’s part with the general assembly in Springfield I may be wrong but I was astonished at what details were revealed on how this plant was granted the right to build.
Thanks.
2,600 jobs will create lots of other jobs as this money is spent. There is a multiplier effect which makes everyone a little richer.
The business that no one else wanted is the jewel in King Pritzker’s crown. Only in Illinois.
