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.
Weekly crime statistics from the Chicago Police Department: Report through 5/4/2024.
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.”
BIG Issue nobody is reporting:
Abbott Labs baby formula plant disaster, overseen by FDA, lays waste to nonsense claims that “only USA-produced pharmaceutical products” are “safe” enough for US consumers…thus excusing the US Government-Enforced monopoly and monosomy on pharma-product manufacture/distribution/price-fixing.
Why aren’t consumer-groups, conservative voters, and any American in a human body who may now or in the future need to buy a drug SCREAMING at Federal Government to allow US citizens to purchase IDENTICAL drugs at prices often 90% LOWER in other countries????
This writer attempts to set the facts on deaths between covid and legionaries diseases, not to mention who might be to blame. What a shameful disrespect for the people and the families of those who have passed. Let me say the Lack of Leadership governor JB was in charge during these deaths (no matter what the cause), 35,000 covid deaths, murders and shootings from violence, drug overdose and poison deaths, under his watch! What has JB done and what is the point of this article?
The point of the article? To cover for Pritzker’s mismanagement on all levels. Typical NPR/WBEZ “reporting.”
