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.”
Moved from Frankfort to SC last December. Bought house in 2003 for $309K with annual property tax of $7K. Village built a high school that was essentially never used and property tax increased to $10K with no relief. Sold the house because tax increased to $12K. New house here in Simpsonville has property tax of $2.3K.
ABP.
Anybody but Pritzker.
Vote him OUT.
What’s Pritzker’s middle name again oh ya opportunist
I thought it was Fat Lard?
His middle name is ‘the’, as in JB the Hutt.
