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.”
Duh! Of course you read it before passing it, unless of course the bill is presented within hours of the end of session and you have vacation plans.
The whole situation is beyond belief … as are so many woes visited upon us by the local, state and federal administrations.
Vote the bums out!
Does that mean that most laws that were passed are NOT valid since they were not read it their entirety? One can easily trace the timelines from when they were first presented to the final vote. With cameras everywhere this would be easy to verify previously laws passed. If it’s in the Constitution then lawmakers should abide the rules. Didn’t Pelosi say -Pass it then read it? How many of us would sign a mortgage or car loan before reading it?
P.S. I’ll bet they read the part giving themselves a raise.
