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.”
Scum Times calls it a political stunt by Abbott. I say it was a brilliant move. He exposed the massive southern border problem and made the sanctuary cities put up or shut up. Also put the onus on Crooked Joe, who does not give a shite.
Exactly correct. The ‘solution’ that’s entirely within Illinois Dem’s control is to stop being a ‘Sanctuary State’ for illegal aliens that the Fed’s refuse to return to the Mexican side of the border.
Let the UN help Mexico put tents up on the South side of the Rio Grande.
CTU/Brandons conundrum is that there’s tons of space for migrants in closed or only fractionally used CPS schools in “dis-invested” black community ready to go, which every pol knows. But using those empty CPS school for migrants would contradict his whole black community investment/ disinvestment shtick. So it’s easier to dump the shelters/now tents up in my neck of woods….in any case the floods just getting started.
Oh, such insight.
