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 will not be around in Illinois much longer sad to say enough of the bullshit greener pastures ahead who knows, but what I’d do know it will be much much cheaper to live and survive. Before I forget Pritzker and every stealing corrupt politicians pound sand your judgment days are coming and I hope painfully
Population numbers don’t tell the whole story – the IRS data is a better indicator of Illinois’ financial situation.
IL is losing revenue at an alarming rate and welcoming illegal aliens who further tax the already overburdened support system.
Illinois’ citizens who have supported this state throughout their working lives and paid taxes deserve to benefit from the state’s largess; individuals who enter our country illegally do not.
