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 do think that the 2010 census was inflated, don’t trust the base number.
Yeah, all those missing IL school children, who no longer attend schools in IL, they all just left on their own, without parents or grandparents. It’s a census error too. Nobody believes this crap. Every institution under Joe Biden has politicized. craptasic fuchs was having a field day with this, “oh, we actually gained 250,000 people” sure we did as we look around at the abandoned buildings, empty office space, and abandoned strip malls that liter our landscape.
Absolutely a load of old cobblers.
We truly are corrupted to the core when we get to this point.
The end is coming; it is written in the Scriptures. And so it should.
Control the census bureau. Control the census. Familiar tune.
I wonder if Msall is related to the Captain of the Titanic?
Larry Msall, mayoral spokesperson!
Listen up everybody. Everything is just fine in Illinois. It’s growing. All the moving truck companies must have been telling lies.
Even if it’s accurate, IL growth was anemic at best and trailed the country as a whole.
I don’t believe it, just a different type of ballot box stuffing to achieve this result.
