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.”
The only people who should be in the loop are police and they are not.
Let the criminals run the streets, they learned the skills in the CPS.
Leaving, you can keep wasting your time if you want putting up multiple comments every day that say essentially the same thing, like this one, but we will delete all but one or two of them.
Censorship in any form is not right. Let the readers decide what they want to read.
But then again it is you ball and bat, so you have all the say.
People have a reason to linger in the Loop. They linger around to commit crime.
Yep. For the rest of us, we can linger until we’re mugged. Then, we’re still lingering, except horizontally. It’s part of the revitalization of downtown Chicago.
