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.”
SHOCKER!!, Crain’s actually includes article/ column by a conservative (IPI-Maliee Smith)!! Despite having overweeningly popular support, did any of are major news outlets offer any articles from a conservative populous point of view on Invest In Kids?? Answer know, they all had their knee pads on for CTU & state teachers unions the whole time….maybe the major news outlets are as scared of CTU & state teachers unions as are pathetic dem machine pols?
Notice how Crain’s, in windbag fashion, barks out its rhetoric after the vote, note that part, after. Where was Crain’s at before the election doing its best to sway the vote in favor of the scholarships? Crain’s never was for the scholarships and this article is simply an attempt to mop up some unsuspecting readership.
