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.”
The stickers should read, “JB Pritzger doubled the tax on a gallon of gasoline, plus added an automatic gas tax increase every July. JB Pritzger continues to allow a sales tax on gasoline as well and currently there are $0.78 cents a gallon in total taxes on YOUR gasoline purchases. Pritzger has decided not to increase gas taxes in July but will increase them in January. You will now save $0.02 cents per gallon until then”. Would that comply?
If I owned a station I would put the sign at the very bottom of a big white poster board. The sign would be at the very bottom of the entrance door so that people would need to get down on their knees to read it. Just practicing for the King of Illinois coronation if Jabba is re-elected. .Above the sticker would be huge black letters saying Jabba Pritzker is buying votes with your money.
I don’t see a problem with the stickers since they could be written so small that even Ant Man can’t see them.
