Escalating tensions over the war between Israel and Hamas are disrupting the city and dividing Democrats as they prepare to show unity in nominating the president to a second term next summer. Illinois’ congressional delegation is divided, too. All but two members 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.”
Attention all anarchists. Please visit Chicago during the democrstic national convention on August 2024. BLM, Antifa etc come here and show the democrats your best stuff. Don’t worry about cops because they can do nothing to disrupt First Amendment protests per a CPD general order. Damage, destroy as much as you like, the democrats will love you. Come one come all, bring your rocks, spray paint and anything else that can break a window. Remember, First Amendment protests are fully protected. CPD General Order 2-02
They are unified, they hate Jews?
“Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who is teaching at Harvard University this semester”… while she has no place in higher education, I still can’t believe how many people would prefer her back (or Rahm even) at this point. Too bad they’re all too jaded and will keep voting the exact same way every time, straight up brainwashed.
This is pretty much a Democrat problem and quite ironic. The majority of Jews are Democrats, but they are finding that the progressive Democrats are loudly pro Palestine. Will these Jewish voters look toward the Republicans which are almost all pro Israel? Kind of fun watching the progressive movement alienating moderate Democrats which moderate Democrats should have seen coming, but tolerated anyway.
No, they most certainly won’t vote Republican. They hate you and your values, you deplorable hick, and they certainly won’t be voting for your politicians either.
Not so sure about that. Orthodox jews are very republican. Voted +45 Trump in last two elections. The far left jews will remain brainwashed but the middle may shift to the right.
Hopefully they’ll just sit out the next election.
