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.”
Carefully read the paragraph about being prepared. Illinois will avoid devastating impacts IF surge is not larger than past surges. We have learned nothing, maybe we have sufficient hospital and ICU beds as long as the surge is not worse than we had. Nearly 35,000 Illinois people have lost their lives to Covid due to JB’s Lack of Leadership not to mention the economic and psychological effects to so many others caused by him. Very assuring from the LoL governor.
Hmmmm….who’s asking the question? The DNC? If we don’t fall into a hot war there’s a high probability a massive spike in Covid will coincide with the mid terms. JB is just waiting for direction from the Bobby Rush of Martha’s Vineyard. Obama is aging and JB is getting bigger.
Control freak Pritzker would love to bring out the face diapers again, but he knows the voters are tired of playing pandemic.
