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.

All “hyphenated Americans” should return to the the regions of their ancestral origins.
Just another race hustler builing his “brand”.
When you get out in the business world you had better talk the language of that world or go nowhere in your job.
Like one commenter here always says (sorry I can’t remember which one, Riverbender maybe?) NIU had such promise being so close to major city and could have attracted many of IL and WI’s best 2nd tier candidates, like Virginia Tech to UV, but instead, NIU squandered it all, allowed the campus to look like a blighted third world county, and accepted students with sub-20 ACT scores. And now we get afro-national professors like this, desperately trying to push ebonics into mainstream academia. Imagine how ridic it would, you know, be, if like, yeah, she instead said that Valley Girl was,… Read more »
