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.”
Who is the sucker? Really thinking Dems wanted Irvin and not Bailey because he hasn’t been paid for yet. Vote for Griffin’s guys if you want the mob rule to continue. Griff couldn’t take it so he dropped money on the way out of the door, laughing all the way. Why isn’t anyone talking about him investing $50 mil if he was leaving?

For a smart guy, Griffin got led around by the nose by political consultants and the Thompson/Edgar crowd, eager to spend and pocket his money, regardless of the outcome. Doing any due diligence by Griffin should have revealed all the well documented known Irvin liabilities. I understand the theory of running a black candidate, but are there no black moderate Republicans in IL? If not, cultivate some.
Happily voted for Bailey this morning.
It IS a culture war.
And that is why the only choice of an informed voter is LEAVE IL! Most have already left and the suckers remain behind. Reading Chicago and IL news makes me more and more glad we left just in time before the whole thing implodes.
I still have a home here for work but I just closed on a home in Florida. Couldn’t be happier.
The Left must be feeling the pressure of a good competitor to the current Illinois wrecker(Pritzker) now in charge of destroying Illinois!
True GOP voters don’t get suckered into anything!
For the first time ever – Dan Proft and JB Pritzker agree on one thing: Darren Bailey as the Republican candidate!
